During a meeting at the Developing Eight (D8) countries in Istanbul, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi expressed condolences for the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who tragically died in a helicopter crash. Marsudi affirmed Indonesia’s commitment to upholding previous agreements with Iran and reinforced readiness for stronger international cooperation to support Palestinians.
Marsudi reassured her efforts in providing aid to the Palestinians and protecting their rights amid the genocidal war on Gaza, addressed at the D8’s extraordinary meeting. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with casualties mounting as a result of Israel’s ongoing onslaught.
