JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry announced that it is carrying out a third evacuation wave from Iran, aiming to repatriate 45 Indonesians this week as a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East continues to hold.
As at April 16, 32 Indonesians had arrived at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Banten, while the remaining 13, all shipping crew, were awaiting the next available flight from Baku, the ministry’s citizen protection director Heni Hamidah said.
