Indonesian government is adopting a comprehensive approach towards the Myanmar government in order to address the humanitarian crisis being endured by the minority Rohingya ethnic community.
“We have adopted a comprehensive approach, and the Rohingya case should be viewed holistically, and not just from one perspective,” Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister A.M. Fachir said here on Thursday.
According to him, the Rohingya community problems were related to human rights, and therefore, the approach adopted in solving the problem cannot be separated from humanitarian principles.
He stated that some changes have been made and some progress has happened regarding the determination of citizenship for the Rohingya community in Myanmar.
Earlier on Monday, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Faction of the House of Representatives (DPR) called on the Foreign Ministry to proactively undertake humanitarian diplomacy over the Rohingya cause because violence against the minority in Myanmars Arakan province has drawn public attention.
“It has attracted the attention of the world as well as the attention of the Indonesian public. The PKS hopes that the foreign ministry would respond to the concerns of the Indonesian public and take active humanitarian diplomatic steps and come up with solutions,” PKS Faction chairman Jazuli Juwaini stressed here on Monday.
