RI invites China to promote reform of international organizations

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 04/30/2011

Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs Marty Natalegawa says that Indonesia invites China to help promote a reformation in international organizations.

Marty said Saturday in Jakarta that a reformation in international bodies, including the United Nations, would influence the world constellation in the years ahead.

“I believe the Chinese government has the same thoughts,” he said, as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Marty said that China and Indonesia should campaign together for the rights of developing countries. “Indonesia looks forward to China’s views in bilateral relations, as well as their concerns on global issues,” he said.

The two countries share the same need to maintain a peaceful and stable situation in the Asia-Pacific region. “Asia-Pacific nations can develop their countries only if the situation is secure and stable,” he said.

Marty later said that the new nation-to-nation partnership should be based on the win-win solution principle, instead of a zero sum game.
