"They view us. They see Indonesia as a role model of a successful developing countrym a southern country," the minister remarked.

Prabowo Subianto remarked that the Heads of State were interested in Indonesia's policies in responding to various social issues.

In terms of diplomacy at the Jordan conference, Minister Subianto said Indonesia had made concrete commitments to respond to the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Palestine.

"I believe Indonesia was the most concrete in this conference. We were ready to take in 1,000 patients as a first step, we were ready to accept 1,000 traumatized children to be educated in Indonesia," the Minister informed.

He added that such practices had sparked interest from many countries, especially Rwanda and Mozambique, which now intend to adopt Indonesia's government policies.
