KUWAIT CITY, Nov 9: Indonesia’s ambassador to Kuwait, HE Lina Mariana, described Kuwait as “a central player and the oldest democracy in the region,” pointing out that both Kuwait and Indonesia have similar goals for building and maintaining stability in international relations, reports Al-Qabas daily.

The Indonesian envoy added, “Having this similar ambition, I am sure that it will be beneficial for both Kuwait and Indonesia to expand cooperation beyond the bilateral sphere and provide relentless support to each other in global forums, pointing to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Kuwait and Indonesia 54 years ago, specifically on February 28, 1968.

She went on to say, “Indonesia is home to more than 275 million people, the fourth most populous country in the world, and the largest archipelagic country in the world, with more than 17,000 islands. She revealed that her country will host the G20 summit on the island of Bali on November 15-16, and will become the president of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations next year, and seize this opportunity to further promote peace and stability in the world and the region.
