Anis and Bogdanov agreed to push for the resolution of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict in Gaza and a ceasefire. They also support the two-state solution as a fair path to peace.
"Indonesia and Russia have cooperated in various fields for a long time. They are closely tied regionally and globally, including in addressing Middle Eastern issues," said Anis Matta, cited from the official release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Both parties also noted that the conflict in Gaza has caused a humanitarian crisis, including civilian casualties and fatalities.
Anis and Bogdanov also mentioned that Palestinians have become refugees due to the destruction of settlements and other infrastructure.
