Organizing Committee of Asian Parliamentary Assembly Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed, along with a group of Asian leaders, has called on newly-elected Indonesian President Jokowi in Jakarta.
Senator Mushahid, who is also Secretary General of the Asia-wide civil society organization, Centrist Asia Pacific Democrats International (CAPDI), is the first Pakistani to meet President Jokowi after his election on October 20 this year, said a message received here from Indonesia on Wednesday.
During the meeting, Senator Mushahid extended the heartiest congratulations of the people of Pakistan to President Jokowi, and said Pakistan took pride in lauding Indonesia as the Muslim World’s biggest democracy.
He told President Jokowi that he was the third leader from the Muslim World to become president after being mayor, the others being Erdogan and Ahmedinijad.
Jokowi thanked Senator Mushahid for his good wishes and lauded the recently-concluded Asian Parliamentary Assembly in Lahore, where Indonesia was represented by deputy speaker of parliament.
