Vice President Ma'ruf Amin said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim were both loud in defending the Palestinian people's struggle.

"We are talking about Palestine because he (PM Anwar Ibrahim) himself said that he and Indonesia, with Pak Jokowi, were both fast to defend Palestine and stop the war in Gaza continuously," said Ma'ruf after a meeting with PM Anwar in Kuching, Malaysia, reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 28.

Ma'ruf said Indonesia would continue to voice permanent solutions for conflict resolution in Gaza, not just a few days apart. According to Ma'ruf, Indonesia has been defending Palestine since the era of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno.

"Indonesia has always been a Palestinian supporter, since the Bung Karno era, at the Asia Africa Conference," he said.

During the meeting, Ma'ruf said that the cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia as a nation continues to be improved.

According to Ma'ruf, his meeting with Anwar was full of intimacy. PM Anwar, said Ma'ruf, had been in frequent communication with the Indonesian people since before becoming prime minister.

"We met familiarly because he is ordinary and has been familiar with Indonesian people since before becoming Prime Minister," said Vice President Ma'ruf.
