Indonesia condemns Jakarta bomb attacks
The Government of Indonesia strongly condemns the acts of terror that
took place in Jakarta, Friday, July 17.
The innocent civilians have once again fallen victims of this
murderous carnage, said a statement issued by the Indonesian Embassy in
Colombo yesterday.
The Government of Indonesia wishes to express its deepest
condolences, sympathy and prayers to the victims and their families, it
said.
“The tragic attacks posed an assault to democracy and freedom in
Indonesia and to a nation that recently has just once again demonstrated
their maturity in practising their democracy. The terror is directly
aimed at damaging our strong economy and positive image, which for the
past five years have been tremendously nurtured,” it added.
It further said: “The Government of Indonesia remains steadfast in
its commitment and vigilance against terrorism.
Our fortitude in consolidating our democracy, and bringing prosperity
to our people will not be deterred by such cowardice acts.”
“We wish to express our highest appreciation for the sympathy and
relentless support kindly offered by our friends and international
community.”
