Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue forum in Singapore, Subianto said: “We consider the American proposal an important and correct step in the direction in which things should go.”
He continued: "We are pleased to hear that Hamas representatives expressed a positive reaction," stressing that Indonesia is ready to do everything in its power to provide humanitarian assistance, as well as "provide large peacekeeping forces to maintain and monitor the ceasefire."
It is noteworthy that Subianto officially won the Indonesian presidential elections, and Subianto is scheduled to take office next October, succeeding current President Joko Widodo.
