Hawzah News Agency (Jakarta, Indonesia) - In likely reference to the order, Jean-Marc Ayrault said on Tuesdayin a public address: "Terrorism has no nationality or religion. It isn’t right to consider any country as a specific threat."

The minister also rejected messages of hate and discrimination in his speech during the "France and European Union: Partners for Southeast Asia" event, organized by the Institut Francais d'Indonesie (IFI) and the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI).

"This has been France’s attitude. [We] refuse to jumble everything together and our citizens are allowed to practice their individual faiths with protection of their places of worship," Ayrault said.

He added that with the increasing threat of terrorism and radicalism, it is becoming more important to cooperate across governments, intelligence agencies, police and other actors in democracies.

French senior diplomat emphasized:‌ Parts of the world, including in France and Muslim-majority Indonesia, have seen terrorist attacks in recent years as conflicts in the Middle East rage on.
