ISTANBUL (AA) - Indonesia highlighted its commitment Saturday to global issues, particularly the plight of Palestinians.

"Indonesia cannot, I repeat, cannot sit back and relax seeing the injustice that continues to be committed against the people of Palestine," Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in her final address to the UN General Assembly.

She demanded international action against Israel's military actions, urging nations to recognize Palestine.

"The recognition of Palestine today is an investment that will yield a more peaceful, just, and human world tomorrow," she said, and announced Indonesia's candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for 2029 - 2030.

"So, colleagues, let us work together to build a legacy of peace for our future generation," she added.
