According to dadiran.ir, the Judiciary chief met with Indonesia’s Chief Justice of Supreme Court Muhammad Syarifuddin and his entourage in Tehran on Wednesday.
The Iranian chief justice expressed gratitude to the Indonesian government and judiciary system for their cooperation with the Islamic Republic in recent years, saying that Jakarta and Tehran have good relationship for more than 70 years and that the ties have improved in recent years.
The trips by the Indonesian president and other high-ranking officials to Iran as well as the Iranian president and other authorities to Indonesia along with holding meetings at different levels have played a key role in enhancing relationships between the two great Islamic countries, Mohseni Ejei noted.
As to agreements in legal and judicial fields between the two states in recent years, he expressed hope for the implementation of the accords as soon as possible.
Indonesia is the most crowded Muslim country in the world and Iran enjoys a remarkable position in the West Asia region; so, both countries can cooperate in different arenas and help introduce the beloved Islam to the world public opinion and prevent distortion of its image by extremists, he added.
The arrogant powers and their extremist pawns attempt to portray a fake image of Islam and the great Prophet to the world, he warned.
The chief justice also referred to the Zionists’ crimes against Palestinians, noting that the Palestinian Muslims are suffering from occupation and tyranny for around 70 years and that unfortunately certain Arab states have started normalizing ties with the Zionist regime.
According to the Iranian official, it seems to be natural that all Muslim nations are expected to stand against suppression and crimes against other Muslims.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to missions and performances of the judiciary system in Iran, noting that more than 95 percent of judicial verdicts are being declared to the people electronically; so, people do not need to stand before a court physically.
The Indonesian chief justice, for his part, welcomed his Iranian counterpart’s suggestion for signing a memorandum of understanding between the two countries to exchange criminals, saying that as the Iran-Indonesia ties have expanded in different fields in recent years, we can increase judicial interactions in order to fill up gaps in this regard.
Syarifuddin also called for cooperating with Iran as well as following up on the Iranian judiciary system and invited his Iranian counterpart to visit Indonesia.
