Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesia called on the Asian and European
countries at the eleventh Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Summit held in
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on July 16, 2016, to overcome acts of terrorism.
"We need to look closer at the root cause of every terror attack
that has taken place around the world," Indonesian Vice President Jusuf
Kalla said in his speech on the second day of the eleventh ASEM Summit
on July 16, 2016, according to a press statement from the Indonesian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs received by ANTARA here Monday.
Kalla attended the retreat session accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, AM Fachir.
Terror attacks have been spreading not only in failed states but also in stable countries, Kalla said.
Countries around world should establish joint reconstruction
programs in politics, economy, and socio-culture in order to overcome
terrorism, he remarked.
The statement was agreed and supported by the other ASEM countries leaders.
Unilateralism against the failed states would cause massive negative reactions, he emphasized.
"Terrorism would become an expression of anger of people from the suppressed countries," Kalla said.
Unilateralism is also considered a form of state radicalism, he added.
The ASEM leaders conveyed their concerns and condemned the terror
attacks that occurred at several locations across the world, especially
in the Asian and European regions, one of which was in Nice, France, on
July 15, 2016.
The leaders of ASEM countries agreed to enhance international
cooperation on handling terrorism as per international laws and the UN
charter.(WDY)
