PALESTINE BACKS LAKSONO'S BID FOR IPU PRESIDENCY
Jakarta, July 27 (ANTARA) - Palestine has expressed full support for Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Agung Laksono's bid to get elected as president of the International Parliamentary Union (IPU) when the organization convenes a general assembly session in Geneva in October 2008.
Palestinian Ambassador to Indonesia Fariz N Mehdani expressed the support on behalf of his country at his meeting with Laksono recently, the DPR Secretariat General said in its official website on Saturday night.
Fariz Mehdani further said the Palestinian people and government were very grateful to the Indonesian people and government for their continued support for Palestine.
"Special thanks go to the Indonesian parliament which always supports Palestine's struggle for an independent state," Fariz Mehdani said.
In response, Agung Laksono said to forge the existing close relations between the two nations, the DPR would invite Palestinian lawmakers to come to Indonesia particularly to attend a ceremony marking the moments prior to the proclamation of Indonesia's independence.
The Palestinian parliamentary delegation is scheduled to arrive here on August 13 for a six-day visit during which they will also attend a House plenary meeting to hear the state-of-the-nation address to be delivered by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on August 15.
