Uzbekistan, Indonesia Celebrate 30 Years of Diplomatic Relations​

JUNE 23, 2022

Jakarta. June 23, 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Uzbekistan.

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has also mutually exchanged congratulatory messages with his Indonesian counterpart Joko "Jokowi" Widodo.

"In the last thirty years, significant results have been achieved within our long-term oriented and multifaceted cooperation. Our relations in the political, socio-economic, cultural, humanitarian and tourism spheres have been steadily strengthening and our countries have been mutually supporting each other within the international organizations," Shavkat Mirziyoyev said, as quoted from a press release by the Uzbek Embassy in Jakarta.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev also said that Uzbekistan "will pay special attention to the further development of friendly relations with Indonesia."

According to Jokowi, the close relations between the two countries have strengthened in a genuine and sincere manner over the past thirty years. Jokowi also reiterated "Indonesia’s strong commitment to enhancing [the two countries'] bilateral cooperation in various fields."

Jokowi added that Indonesia also looks forward to continuing to work closely with Uzbekistan in various international fora.

Uzbekistan and Indonesia have historically enjoyed friendly relations which have very deep roots.

The most prominent sons of Uzbekistan as Imam Bukhari, Bahouddin Nakshbandi and others are respected in Indonesia. The visit of Indonesia's first President Sukarno to Uzbekistan in 1956 had also played a significant role in strengthening basis of their bilateral relations.

Today, Uzbekistan is developing the democratic and liberal political system. Especially, the further development of democratic principles and their implementation in state institutions and development of civil society, gained high priority in the state policy of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

Since Uzbekistan's independence, Indonesia has been one of its core partners in Southeast Asia.

Relations in the field of politics, economics and socio-culture have been actively developed. In recent years, the two countries have even intensified their cooperation. Trade volume is rising. Indonesian and Uzbek business circles become more active in various branches of the economy.

Ziyarah tourism also becomes on of the most fast-growing fields of the two countries' relations. Historically, Uzbekistan has been playing an important role in the development of Islamic culture, science and heritage. Now, Uzbekistan is the place of thousands of historical and Islamic monuments. Uzbekistan also presented a visa-free regime for 30 days to facilitate Indonesian tourists to visit these places.

Uzbekistan and Indonesia have been enjoyed mutual support within international organizations and certain global issues. Uzbekistan and Indonesia, which are co-facilitators or like-minded countries, have been actively continuing support for sustainable peace in Afghanistan.

"Indeed, what both countries have achieved in the last 30 years is highly appreciable and deserves respect. May the peace, prosperity and continuous development always follow the traditionally friendly, mutual respectful and sincere cooperation between Uzbekistan and Indonesia," the press release by the Uzbek Embassy in Jakarta reads.

• Meeting in Bali co-organized by the governments of Indonesia and Qatar
• Indonesia has made Afghanistan one of its priority foreign aid commitments

JAKARTA: Indonesia hosted on Thursday the first international conference to garner support for Afghan women’s education.

Afghan girls and women have been facing growing uncertainty since the Taliban took control of the country last year, with an estimated 3 million secondary school girls kept out of school for more than a year.

The International Conference on Afghan Women’s Education was held in Bali, co-organized by the governments of Indonesia and Qatar — the first such meeting to take place since the Taliban takeover, gathering representatives of 38 countries, international organizations, NGOs and academics.

Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, has made Afghanistan one of its priority foreign aid commitments, with assistance directed mostly to support women’s empowerment and education.

“We cannot choose to remain idle, we must do something,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told a press conference.

“I firmly believe investing in women means investing in a brighter future, given the opportunity women can make a critical contribution to society.”

Marsudi said that creating conducive conditions for women’s participation in Afghan society was of critical importance, and urged participants to “encourage progress to establish an inclusive government that respects women’s rights” and “guarantee education for all.”

Under its new rulers, Afghanistan has been struggling to achieve growth and stability, as foreign governments have refused to recognize the Taliban and the aid-dependent Afghan economy has been in freefall following the suspension of billions of dollars in foreign aid.

As human rights violations against women and girls mounted steadily in the last year, restriction on women’s employment, in particular, was estimated to cost Afghanistan’s gross domestic product up to $1 billion, or about 5 percent, according to UN data.

The conference was a “good steppingstone,” Qatar’s assistant foreign minister, Lolwah Rashid Al-Khater, told participants at the Bali meeting.

Indonesia and Qatar are working together on a scholarship program dedicated to Afghan people and planning to create economic opportunities through microloans. The two governments are also keen on facilitating policies that would connect the Afghan private sector to their international counterparts.

“One message for the international community: Education is a basic right for all ... and it’s important for myself and my colleagues as well — me as a Muslim woman — to confirm that this is not part of a faith; preventing women from their basic rights is not part of the faith,” Al-Khater said.

“It is our obligation as Muslim-majority countries to confront that and to say to any actors that this does not represent us, this does not represent the faith of Islam.”

Arabs should be forced to share the oil wealth with all muslims instead of letting a thousand princes waste trillions of dollars on everything while millions of muslims starve in places like nigeria/yemen etc

Nigeria has large oil and gas, it lets to them in how they want to manage their oil and gas resources. The focus should be on Somalia, Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan

Gulf Arab states do help, but of course not as much people expect for them. Just see how USA help many Western countries and Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan after WW2 with their Marshal Plan. That is really having big impact.

There is Islamic Development Bank. Those Gulf countries should put more money on this development bank. They will not lose the money by putting on the IDB, only the return of investment will be much lower with longer loan maturity as well.

They have also need to increase their foreign aid budget. Even Indonesia with just around 4600 USD nominal GDP percapita has already made budget for foreign aids as you can see on above post with focus on Afghanistan.

Indonesia also made International Islamic University that will give many scholarships to Muslim in developing countries to improve understanding of moderate and inclusive aspect of Islam. That university is also funded by the government.

Yes If I were Arabs I would invest trillions into other Muslim nations. Not only will it help Muslims but it will also give Arabs a lot more influence and power as well. But instead they waste most of their money which could have uplifted many Muslim nations like Niger, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan etc.

EU is not just a customs union. It is a union where citizens of member states can freely travel and live. That can never happen in OIC where the Arab members of OIC treat citizens of non-Arab members of OIC just as they treat their livestock. OIC is a union just like sheep and shepherd are members of a family.

First in Europe, they made a customs union.
