medcom.id, Jakarta: Jerusalem, one of the oldest cities in the world, is claimed by Israel and Palestine as their capital. The problem is still unsolvable until now. Both countries still fail to reach an agreement.
The issue is discussed in International Conference on Question of Jerusalem that is held in Jakarta in December 14-15. The event is held by United Nations' Commitee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Right of the Palestinian People (CEIRP) in cooperation with Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
The conference is attended by Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki and United Nations Secretary General Representatives Doughlas Broderick.
"Besides Jerusalem issues, there are also other issues related to Palestine like illegal occupation, refugees,territory, security and water resources," said Retno in the opening of the conference on Monday (12/14//2015).
Retno said the status of Jerusalem is important issue because it is considered as holy cities by three religions.
"I hopee Palestine and Israel could reach agreement so the city could be place for all religions," she said.
In the conference, Retno conveyed Indonesia and Palestine consistently develop cooperation. Both countries routinely held training for Palestinian citizens.
"We have trained 1,338 Palestinians in various aspects," she added.
The result of the conference will be brought to United Nations General Assembly to be discussed further. (Nabila Gita)
