Page 272 - BUKU STRENGTHENING THE INDONESIAN PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY FADLI ZON

What we have today is a highlight of all the challenges in the development of this region.
Nevertheless, we believe that Indonesia and Pacific Islands Countries can advance together. We
are partners for future developments.

We have come to the end of our meeting today. Tomorrow, we will invite you to visit the
Parliament Building and to enjoy the atmosphere of Ancol, an integrated and sustainable eco
development area in the Jakarta Bay.

But first, we will have a great dinner tonight in the Tugu Kunstkring Paleis, Menteng, a grand
historical building originally housed the Fine Arts Circle of the Dutch East Indies.

I wish you have pleasant days in Jakarta, Indonesia and hope that it will be a memorable one for
you to share at home. What we have today will become modalities to strengthen deeper inter-
parliamentary interactions and personal relations as part of the pacific citizens. I encourage
more parliamentary actions which specifically design to strengthen our inter-parliamentary
contact and cooperation can be initiated.
