H. E. AMBASSADOR OF REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA DELIVERED THE LETTER OF CREDENCE TO THE PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

President of The Republic of Serbia Mr. Tomislav Nikolic expressed satisfaction with the state of the bilateral relations of the two countries, which have a history of over 60 years, and the confidence that they will continue to develop according to the numerous potentials that Serbia and Indonesia have.

“Serbia’s wish and orientation is to continually enhance the cooperation with Indonesia in all fields. We are confident that strengthening the economic cooperation of our countries, for which there are realistic possibilities and an undeniable mutual interest, would be of mutual interest to our friendly nations,” Nikolic noted.

Serbia has set EU membership as its strategic goal, but it simultaneously wants to cherish and develop good relations with all countries of the world, among which Indonesia has a special place, and to which it is connected by a traditional friendship, mutual respect and understanding, Nikolic said.

Nikolic thanked Indonesia for its principled position on non-recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and for the assistance provided in the recovery from the catastrophic floods that hit Serbia in May 2014.

The new Indonesian ambassador said that the bilateral cooperation of the two countries, which has been tested through history, is developing at all levels, but noted that there is sufficient room to improve it.

Indonesia is looking forward to closer cooperation with Serbia, one of the most significant countries in southeastern Europe, Ambassador Kandou said.

He said that Indonesia appreciates the significant development of Serbia’s European integration process, which it sees as a strategic one and as beneficial to both Serbia and EU.

Indonesia’s support for Serbia’s efforts to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty pursuant to the Charter of the UN and international law remains unchanged, the ambassador said.

The Indonesian embassy spares no time or energy in taking our friendly relations to a strategic level – with your support, our cooperation should bring more tangible and more concrete results in the fields of economy, socio-politics, defence, culture, education, tourism and sport, Ambassador Kandou noted.

He said that he will work on organising exchanges of a larger number of visits by officials, representatives of the private business sector, scientists, students and citizens of the two countrie.

After delivering the letter of credence to the President of Republic of Serbia, H. E. Ambassador Harry Richard James Kandou organized reception in his residence. There were present representatives of Association of Serbian and Indonesian Friendship NUSANTARA, who wished him all the best in his future mandate and a warm welcome to Serbia.

On the behalf of the NUSANTARA, president of the Association Dr Aleksandar Rakovic delivered him appropriate present.
