"It is a reciprocal visit," Agung said commenting on Adel’s presence in Jakarta.
The Indonesian House leader admitted that at his meeting with Adel Iran’s nuclear program would also be discussed.
He said the Indonesian Parliament supported Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes such as for use in health care and agriculture.
"During my visit to Iran, I observed the country’s nuclear program and there was no indication that it was for war," Agung said, adding that he also wanted to see peace achieved in the Middle East region.
Agung said Iran , in turn, supported Indonesia’s plan to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes , namely for application in the fields of health and agriculture.
The Indonesian government was some time ago involved in efforts to help seek a peaceful solution to the nuclear crisis in Iran out of concern the dispute could cause the world oil price to soar. (dar)
