Amody and Deputy Ambassador Mr. Essam Al Getale. Both were accepted by the Vice President in a family atmosphere, friendly atmosphere and gave each other pleasure," said the spokesman for the Vice President, Masduki Baidlowi, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.

Masduki said that when he received Ambassador Faisal, Vice President Ma'ruf expressed his high and deep appreciation to the Saudi Arabian government for holding the Arab League Summit in Jeddah.

"(The summit) was indeed well followed by the Vice President and one of the things that the Vice President also highly appreciates is Saudi Arabia's leadership in the Arab League this time because one thing that is the focus of the current leadership of the Arab League is embracing old friends," he explained. The vice president, said Masduki, appreciated Saudi Arabia for embracing the President of Syria again, even though the relations between the two leaders of the country had become unfamiliar.

Vice President Ma'ruf hopes that the leadership of Saudi Arabia in the Arab League can unite the world of Islam and Muslims to become a power that can be counted by other forces.

"So the Vice President, in this case, really hopes that Saudi Arabia's leadership in the future can be effective in bringing the Arab League to unite Muslims," he said.

At the meeting, Vice President Ma'ruf and Ambassador Faisal also discussed Saudi Arabia's relations with Indonesia, which had been built for a long time and was very good.

Ambassador Faisal conveyed the greetings of the King of Arabia to the Vice President and stated that the relationship between the Government of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia is a special relationship with a long history.

Saudi Arabia hopes that relations with Indonesia can run more concretely, especially in terms of trade and economic aspects.

"Because so far Saudi Arabia's relations with Indonesia have been quite good, but in the context of trade have not been maximized. He gave an example, for example, that Indonesia's relations with China are good, Saudi Arabia's relations with China are good, good trading partners between the two, but how can Saudi Arabia and Indonesia also have improved trading partners," said Masduki.

According to Masduki, Vice President and Ambassador Faisal expressed their commitment to improve Indonesia's partnership with Saudi Arabia.

Finally, at the meeting, Vice President Ma'ruf also expressed his desire to visit Saudi Arabia next year towards the end of his term as Vice President.
