REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NAYPYIDAW - Led by the Chairman of Indonesian Red Cross Jusuf Kalla, Indonesian delegation successfully entered Myanmar and met Myanmar President U Thein Sein in Naypyidaw, Myanmar. His visit was to offer conflict resolution in Rakhine. 

Kalla was accompanied by the former mediator of Helsinki Negotiation Hamid Awaluddin, Indonesian Ambassador to Myanmar Sabastian Sumarsono, the Assistant of OIC Secretary General Atta Abdul Mannan, and President of Qatar Red Crescent Mohamed Ghanim Al-Maadheed.
