Jakarta -Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian MPR of the Democratic Party faction, Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono (Ibas), emphasizes the importance of the role of Puic (Parliamentary Union of the OIC member states/Parliamentary Association of OIC member state) as a motor frame of friendliness. Not only symbolic diplomacy forums alone, but also the ashes of the new civilization fighting for freedom (freedom), wealth (prosperity) and justice (justice) for all mankind. “Some time ago, exactly in December 2024, we, the leader of the Indonesian folk consultative meeting, met directly with the Secretariat -General of the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the consistency and dedication of Indonesia about the strengthening of the OIC state.” Ibas said in his statement, Thursday (5/15/2025). “So he attended the momentum of the 19th Puic conference at the Indonesian House of Representatives/MPR building, reminded me of the diplomatic meeting.

The chairman of the Indonesian Parliament FPD then said that the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OKI) has a mandate to defend the rights of Muslims around the world. “OKI has a great mandate or task that we must support optimally, namely the defense of the rights of Muslims around the world. Encourage the creation of global peace and stability,” he said. On this occasion, Ibas also said that this puic was one of the forms of full support of Indonesia in maintaining Palestinian independence and world peace, especially for siblings in Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and other OIC countries that still suffered from conflict. “What we said when we meet directly with the Secretary -General of OKI in Saudi Arabia has the same spirit as this puic conference. We no longer want to see the bombing. There should be no more murder and no more conflicts that cause tears in suffering,” he said. According to Ibas, the struggle of Muslim countries is not just to free Palestine from colonialism, but also liberates Muslims from behind. “We want to see the Islamic world that continues to live advanced, blessing and united. Advanced in thinking, healthy prosperity in the economy and the right to everyone,” he said. According to Ibas, puic can be one of the drivers and drivers of the growth of Islamic civilization that is friendly, open and advanced. “This is the time for puic to get up and more advanced, no longer just a symbolic diplomacy forum, but also as a new axis of civilization fighting for freedom (freedom), prosperity (wealth) and justice (justice) for all mankind,” he said. The chairman of the Democratic Party of the Indonesian Parliament faction also said that it is time for us to not only talk about solving conflicts and disputes, but also talk about opportunities, cooperation and mutual progress. “Opportunities in the expansion of economic cooperation, technology, strengthening the fair education and health system, creating a clean and healthy environment, to create a competitive economic future of Muslims.” It is clear that Ibas “OKI countries high, worthy, united, in fraternity, work together for the progress and future of Thayyibah (perfect life).” He added. Not just about conflicts in Islamic countries, but IBAs also underline global efforts to fight Islamophobia and build a more just understanding of Islam. “When we meet with the Secretary -General of OIC in Saudi Arabia, we also emphasize the importance of world efforts to fight Islamophobia. We need to encourage the correct understanding of Islam and reject all forms of Islamophobia. It’s time for global narratives about Islam to change,” he said. “The increase in Islamophobia worldwide is a shared challenge for the Puic Muslim community to fight in an integrated way of the thick simination. Like raising awareness, joining international bodies and promoting the interfaith dialogue in the fight against negative stereotypes,” he continued. Again, Ibas conveyed a call so that OKI countries could collectively realize Islamic values in life. “Islam is life, youth and family. Islam is love. Islam is peace. Islam is a kindness. Islam is happy and Islam is also friendly in productivity,” he said. Finally, Ibas hopes that Puic is not symbolically confined, but that it becomes a strong forum for the parliamentary diplomacy to express and fight for peace, pursuit and world progress, including environmental conservation. “As the leader of the Indonesian people’s consultative meeting, we hope that Puic is not only a symbolic diplomacy, but becomes a strong and right place to express the interests of Muslims, to protect all human rights, fight for peace, prosperity and the promotion of the world and keep the fastest environment in a sustainable way,” he concluded.
