“Currently, more than 20 Afghan students have received scholarships and are studying in Indonesia. We are very pleased to launch this strategic cooperation through the Indonesia-Qatar scholarship collaboration, with Qatar as the main donor," Retno said.
In addition to education, some of Indonesia's efforts and assistance for Afghanistan include: the provision of 10 million doses of polio vaccine for Afghan children this year; humanitarian assistance for the Afghan people affected by natural disasters; psychosocial workshops to help 400 Afghan women face the challenges of social life. In addition, Indonesia has also committed to helping develop a sharia microfinance business model suitable for Afghanistan, to open up more employment opportunities through household enterprises.
"Politics should not get in the way of our solidarity for Afghanistan, and above politics, humanity must come first," Retno said, closing her speech. (Wahyu Dwi Anggoro)
