In APEC Economic Leaders Retret, President Jokowi urged APEC leaders to act to stop the war, speed up the ceasefire, and ensure humanitarian aid for Gazans, Palestine can be delivered without a hitch.
Jokowi considered that currently, let alone the right to build, the right to life for the Gazan people was not respected.
Before we start our topic on inclusive development, let's think for a moment about the people in Gaza. Never mind development, at this time their right to life is not respected," said the Head of State.
