Obama urges progress on Muslim ties in Indonesia

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/11/2010119135022378564.html

Barack Obama, the US president, has said he is making progress towards ending the mistrust between Muslim countries and the United States, but that the effort is incomplete.

Obama flew from India to Indonesia, his former boyhood home, on Tuesday for the second leg of his 10-day Asia trip.

At a joint news conference with Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Indonesian president, Obama said his efforts to improve the relationship between Muslims and the West had been “earnest” and “sustained”.

However, he said the progress was “incomplete” and there was more work to do. 

Obama also said he did not think “we’re going to completely eliminate some of the misunderstandings and mistrust”.

The president said he wanted to make sure the US is “building bridges and expanding our interactions with Muslim countries”.

During their meeting in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, Obama and Yudhoyono signed a “comprehensive partnership” that they had agreed to a year ago, including co-operation on economic and security issues.

Though religious extremism often dominates the tensions between the Muslim world and the West, Obama said the relationship must expand beyond security issues.

At the news conference, Obama also criticised Israel’s plans to build about 1,300 new apartments in disputed East Jerusalem.

“This kind of activity is never helpful when it comes to peace negotiations,” Obama said.

  1. Building bridges ehhh? What like this one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunda_Strait_Bridge ;-)

    • thats a biggy!

      The Sunda Strait Bridge is a planned road and railway connection between the two Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java. After years of discussion and planning, eventually in October 2007 the Indonesian government gave the initial go-ahead for what will become the world’s longest suspension bridge, across the 26 km (16 mi) Sunda Strait.

  2. He has to go over there to see the progress. He is very fond of progress.

  3. No thanks! to any relationship with Indonesia.
    For yonks they taught their children that all of the land north of Townsville, Queensland is a place that belongs to them…SOUTH IRIAN.
    They actually had maps on classroom walls showing the north of Australia blacked in as such…so testimonies say.

    The greater SOUTH IRIAN Islamic state is also one day to include New Zealand.
    No more fush and chups.
