JAKARTA - Good news was conveyed by the President of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) Indonesia, Raja Sapta Oktohari, after holding a meeting with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The meeting, which took place at the headquarters of the IOC (International Olympic Committee), Lausanne, Switzerland, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, was the aftermath of the polemic of refusal by Israeli athletes to appear at the 2025 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Jakarta.
NOC Indonesia, which is directly led by Okto - Raja Sapta Oktohari's nickname - conveyed openly and diplomatically about the situation in Indonesia, including the Government's policy, social conditions, and steps to ensure the safety and smooth implementation of the Artistic Gymnastics World Championship.
From that meeting, NOC Indonesia said that the IOC had received a good explanation and resulted in a positive meeting point and managed to reopen the communication space and cooperation between the two parties.
