00:00...taking, whether it's on the village level, enforcing the law, fighting corruption, dealing with the tax code.
00:11There have been a lot of protests, as you know, in your country and in other countries.
00:16People worried about the rise of the cost of living, inequality.
00:20But you seem to have embarked on a path where you're going to have a vibrant economy, but you're going to make sure, as the phrase goes, not only is no one going to be left behind, but they're going to...
00:33...invited by President Trump to witness the historic agreement.
00:37Can you share with us, before you go, observations about what you saw and what you think may be unfolding?
00:45It also underscores Indonesia's traditional foreign policy of trying to stay out of the elephants who get in fights with each other, the great powers, that you focus on growth rather than international disputes.
01:02But tell us, give us some quick observations about what you saw in Egypt.
01:05By the way, the President went to Egypt midnight on Sunday night.
01:10And what was it? A few hours later, he came back. Amazing.
01:14Can you give us some observations about what you saw?
01:16Yes, it was very interesting. I think there was a sense that we are at a historic opportunity.
01:26A lot must be done. There's still a long way. Anything can happen.
01:33But as we all feel that this time, there is hope.
01:40So, in New York, during the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump called about eight of us, eight, let us say, leading Muslim countries.
01:59Indonesia is considered Muslim majority, so we were invited.
02:04And he gave us his plan. We looked at the plan. We discussed it. It gave us hope.
02:14And then, some of the other Arab leaders said, sir, we can live with the plan. We like it because of hope.
02:26But what about Israel? Right? And so, he said, well, I'll...
02:31Basically, what he says is, I will convince the Israelis.
02:35And apparently, he managed to do that.
02:38We have now a ceasefire.
02:40Aid is coming in.
02:43Hostages have been released.
02:46Some still...
02:48I think some dead bodies have to be recovered.
02:52So, yes, there is, I would say, still hope that we can get this through.
03:03And Indonesia is still willing to be part of that.
03:07If they need peacekeeping troops, they said we are willing to provide peacekeeping troops.
03:13And so, I am, myself, I am optimistic. I hope that this can go through.
03:22Well, in your speech in the UN, you gave a very courageous speech about if Israel would recognize Palestine,
03:33countries should recognize Israel, even if they are Muslim.
03:38And some criticized you for that.
03:41But that exemplifies, though, the kind of firm leadership, forward leadership that the world needs.
03:48And so, we've run out of time, unfortunately.
03:52But I think people are getting a sense that whether it's issues like ice for fishermen
03:59or trying to bring peace to a troubled region, Indonesia has a very strong leader.
04:06Thank goodness. Thank you very much, Mr. President.
04:09Thank you very much.
