Page 167 - BUKU STRENGTHENING THE INDONESIAN PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY FADLI ZON

Civil war over Syria which has killed more than 220.000 Syrian people since 2011 should come
to an end when conflicting party engage in open dialog and build trust upon themselves.

In Palestine, a road to find peace and international acknowledgement with its recognized 1967
territorial border will depend to the great will of international community including the Asia
Pacific. It will be even more difficult as global powers transferred to unpredictable political
direction.

Indonesia seeks greater role of the UN particularly the UN Security Council (UNSC) to be able
to cease arm conflict and tensions. In this regards, Indonesia sees the urgency to reform the UN
particularly the Security Council to ensure equal footing among regions.

To conclude, I call upon Parliamentarians of the Asia and the Pacific, to play bigger role in to
bringing peace and security not only to our region but also to the rest of the world.
