00:00President Joko Widodo received the official visit of Grand Sheikh Al-Azhar of Egypt, Imam Akbar Ahmed Al-Tayeb, at the Independence Palace of Jakarta on July 9.
00:12The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi, said there were three things that President Joko Widodo said to Grand Sheikh in his third visit to Indonesia in the last decade.
00:25The first point is closely related to the relationship between Indonesia and Egypt, which is the home of Al-Azhar, as well as the purpose of studying for thousands of students from the mainland.
00:36Both of them discussed the opening of the Tatwir Center or Al-Azhar Development Center in Indonesia.
00:43In addition, both sides also discussed wars that took place in various parts of the world, especially in Gaza, Palestine.
00:51The President also reiterated the role of the Egyptian government, which is the gateway for Indonesian aid to Palestine, and emphasized the importance of a permanent ceasefire.
01:03A similar message was also received by Grand Sheikh Al-Azhar.
01:08The message was very clear about the importance of peace.
01:11So when we discussed the Gaza issue for quite a long time, Grand Sheikh and the President exchanged views.
01:18And that's when we saw that the strong message brought by Grand Sheikh was about peace.
01:24And this peace will not exist, Grand Sheikh also said, if the dialogue is not prioritized.
01:33In the third discussion, the President also emphasized progressiveness and tolerance as an identity of the Indonesian nation.
01:40As well as encouraging the strengthening of dialogue between religions as part of an effort to increase the value of tolerance and peace.
