“The people who live in Indonesia can live in harmony with diversity,” the advisor and member of the High Council of Peace for Afghanistan, Abdul Hakeem, said here on Tuesday.
Hakeem noted that Indonesias experience with ensuring harmony can be applied in Afghanistan.
The advisor has met with the Indonesian Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla to discuss the improvement of peace and reconciliation efforts in Afghanistan based on the Indonesian experience.
According to Hakeem, to achieve a peaceful situation in the country with a 99 percent Muslim population requires more effort.
He added that peace and stability are necessary to achieve prosperity for the Afghani people.
“Thus, we want to cooperate with Indonesia,” Hakeem stated.
Hakeem paid a courtesy visit to Kalla, accompanied by several religious scholars and academicians.
In addition, the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Indonesia, Roya Rohmani, said the meeting with Kalla was used to discuss the expansion of cooperation in business and trade sectors as well.
