Allow me to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to the Parliament of Singapore as
the host of the 39 General Assembly of AIPA.

It is an honour for us to participate in this Committee Meeting and we are looking forward to
contribute to the work of this year General Assembly of AIPA.

The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia recognize that economic growth,
development and sustainability are hardly possible to achieve without peace, security and sta-
bility. While ASEAN has been very competent in maintaining ecosystem of peace, we shall
not undermine the global and regional dynamic that may impact the regional stability. In line
with the ASEAN Leaders’ Vision for a Resilient and Innovative ASEAN, in which the ASEAN
Leaders recognizes the increasing complexity of non-traditional and transnational security
challenges such as terrorism, violent extremism, cyber threats, environmental degradation,
climate change, and maritime issues; we see the need for AIPA to provide a legislative support
toward efforts to address those challenges. In this General Assembly of AIPA, we are proposing
for a draft resolution on Enhancing Cooperation on Maritime Security in ASEAN based upon
our awareness that majority of ASEAN Member States are connected by one factor, the ocean.
We see the need for us to continuously revisit our cooperation on regional maritime security and
exercise utmost efforts within our constitutional mandate of legislation, budget and oversight.

The second draft resolution that we are proposing for this Committee is draft resolution
on Violent Attacks on Rohingya and Humanitarian Crisis in Myanmar. After constructive
contribution from our colleagues during the Executive Committee Meeting, and upon approval
