Minister of Foreign Affairs Marty Natalegawa explains the outlook of Indonesian foreign policy in 2013 in Jakarta on Friday.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID , JAKARTA -- Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa visited Pyongyang, North Korea, on October 21st to 23rd, to discuss bilateral ties and bolster stability in the Korean Peninsula.

The trip is a follow up of President of the Presidium of North Korea, Kim Yong Nam visit to Indonesia last year, said an official statement of Foreign Ministry in Jakarta, Tuesday (22/10).

On the occasion, Marty proposed dispatching Indonesia's business mission to North Korea to explore further opportunities on economic cooperation between the two countries. The idea is related to a plan to setup special economic zones in each province of North Korea.

"As an example, Indonesia-North Korea trade has grown by more than 45 percent in the last five years," Marty said as quoted by the Foreign Ministry.

Beside economic cooperation, the two sides saw a promising opportunity to improve trade capacity and forming partnership on capacity building.

As per the instructions of President Yudhoyono, it said, Marty has done in-depth talks with the North Korean foreign minister, Pak Ui Chun and President of the Presidium Kim Yong Nam on efforts to create a conducive situation on the Korean Peninsula.

"Indonesia obtained a complete picture of North Korea's views and concerns about the prospects of stability in the Korean Peninsula, including the issue of reunification and denuclearization," he added.

يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wahai anak cucu Adam! Janganlah sampai kamu tertipu oleh setan sebagaimana halnya dia (setan) telah mengeluarkan ibu bapakmu dari surga, dengan menanggalkan pakaian keduanya untuk memperlihatkan aurat keduanya. Sesungguhnya dia dan pengikutnya dapat melihat kamu dari suatu tempat yang kamu tidak bisa melihat mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan setan-setan itu pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang tidak beriman.

(QS. Al-A'raf ayat 27)
