Indonesia has promised to help Afghanistan to vaccinate its people against the highly contagious polio.

Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi recently visited Doha, Qatar, among others, to join a string of talks on Afghanistan. This includes the special envoys meeting on Afghanistan hosted by the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres.

"After consulting with the World Health Organization [WHO], Indonesia is committed to helping provide 10 million doses of polio vaccines for the people of Afghanistan," Retno said in a recorded video statement on her Doha visit.
