T
he ongoing conflict in Ukraine has served as a "reminder" for countries in the Indo-Pacific to better manage potential conflict in the region, Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi has said.
Retno was speaking to reporters on Monday on the sideline of her visit to Doha, where she addressed a Sunday session on Indo-Pacific cooperation at the Doha Forum, an annual global event hosted by Qatar that brings together policy leaders to discuss the latest challenges in the world.
“The current situation in Ukraine serves as a reminder for all of us to more carefully manage the Indo-Pacific region,” she said, adding that all parties must respect international law in order to keep the region peaceful, stable and prosperous.
“Respect for international law, including respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, must be carried out consistently and not [applied in a] pick-and-choose [manner].”
