Indonesia considered that the UN mission in Myanmar carried out by its special envoy Ibrahim Gambari has not failed yet, supporting the envoy to continue its mission with the support of the Focus Group, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said.
President Susilo made the statement at the State Palace during his meeting with the envoy, whom left Myanmar at week end. In his latest mission, Gambari failed to establish dialogue between the military Junta and detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
"The president (Susilo) said that this mission only fail if all of us quit," state spokesman Dino Patti Djalal told a press conference after the meeting.
During the meeting the president, who has experienced difficulty in addressing a rebellion in the country, said that the issue of Myanmar was difficult to solve but it was a great challenge.
"As our experience in handling Aceh rebellion, there was a setback. The key to handling this business is never give up," President Susilo quoted by state spokesman as saying.
Dino said that Indonesia kept supporting U.N. mission in Myanmar especially under a difficult situation.
"President Susilo said that Indonesia wanted Gambari to keep plying his constructive role under the support of the Focus Group," he said.
Among the member of the Focus Group are Indonesia, China and Myanmar.
"The president hopes for a resumption of dialogue between the Myanmar government and Aung San Suu Kyi," said Dino.
As a member of the Focus Group, Indonesia would continue to help settle dispute in Myanmar, said the spokesman.
Moreover, President Susilo would keep communicating with Myanmar leader General Tan Shwe to find the best solution of the dispute, said Dino.
