The UN General Assembly Committee on Palestinian Rights visited Indonesia from July 3 to 5, 2024, for consultations on the Palestinian question with the government, parliament, civil society, think tanks, and the business community. As a CEIRPP Committee and Bureau member, Indonesia plays a crucial role in mobilizing support for Palestine and strengthening bilateral relations. This visit, organized by the UN Division for Palestinian Rights and the Indonesian Mission to the UN in New York, is part of the Committee’s 2024 Annual Programme of Work and aligns with its mandate to advocate for Palestinian rights and promote a peaceful resolution.<\/p>\n

On July 3, the Bureau, led by Amb. Cheikh Niang, met with the Committee of Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation\/Palestine Caucus at the Indonesia House of Representatives to discuss parliamentary diplomacy in support of ending the Gaza conflict and finding a just, lasting solution.<\/p>\n

On July 4, the Committee Bureau met with Foreign Minister Hon. Ms. Retno Marsudi, expressing gratitude for Indonesia’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.
