Jakarta: Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana emphasized that circulated news in foreign media, stating that Indonesia had plans for official diplomatic relations with Israel, is false.
“The information is completely incorrect,” Dwipayana stated in a short message on Thursday (February 29).
His statement was a response to the news published by jewishinsider.com media saying that Indonesia had plans to establish official diplomatic relations with Israel.
Dwipayana said the Indonesian President Joko Widodo did not send any special envoy to talk to Israel.
In terms of foreign affairs policy, President Jokowi assigns the foreign affairs minister and no others.
“The president’s official is represented by the statements and stance of the foreign minister,” he stated.
