UAE and Indonesia 45 years of cooperation strategic relationships and growing partnerships

H.E. Retno L.P Marsudi

Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia 

I welcome the continued progress of our bilateral cooperation, as we celebrate the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the UAE. 

Our two countries share similar values: tolerance, moderation, sustainable energy and development. We are also committed to work together for the betterment of the two nations. 

These close ties have been tested through and through as we work together to address interrelated global crises, such as today's COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, food security and sustainable development. 

Together we are stronger. 

As we move forward, Indonesia stands ready to further enhance our cooperation with the UAE. Not only to step up our bilateral cooperation, but also to contribute in addressing global issues as well as maintaining and promoting peace, stability and prosperity for our respective regions.
