Astana, Kazakhstan (Antara Bali) - Vice president Jusuf Kalla said
Indonesia is ready to be the mediator to bridge Islamic countries to
settle crisis in Myanmar.
"The OIC wishes to invite Indonesia to cooperate to settle the
Rohingya case. I said we can talk about the program later with the OIC
secretary general," he said after the first summit meeting of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation on science and technology at the
Palace of Independence here on Sunday.
Kalla said with regard to the crisis in Rakhine state in Myanmar
Indonesia actually has already done what other countries cannot do
because of inavailability of access for them to Myanmar.
"Indonesia can any time communicate with the Myanmar government," he said.
At the opening of the meeting Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev also touched the Myanmar issue.
"We care for Myanmar. We will also open a dialog to discuss the issue at a UN forum," he said.
He said the case would also be referred to the UN Human Rights
Commission with regard to finding the truth of the problem and
independently investigating the violence and violation of international
laws that have happened.
The OIC also hoped that the Myanmar government could settle the
core problems including the citizenship and rights of the Rohingya.
The OIC meeting produced a conclusion that it was important for
the Myanmar government to return the refugees back to Rakhine state
safely, honorably and under protection.
The OIC urged member countries and international organizations to seek the return of the regugees with the UN.
The OIC summit which was attended by a number of heads of state
including President of Iran Hassan Rouhani, Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, President Abdul
Hamid of Bangladesh, President Alpha Conde of Guinea, Pakistani
