Indonesia Pledges 10 Million Polio Vaccine Doses to Afghanistan


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.
