He expressed that relationships with parliaments in various parts of the world, including the Islamic world, need to be strengthened so that solidarity can be translated into concrete cooperation and diplomatic actions.

At the same time, the reach of diplomacy should be continuously expanded to all countries that are committed to peace and the respect of human rights.

"We hope he can enhance parliamentary cooperation in the Islamic world while building broader support across regions. Advocating for Palestine is a humanitarian responsibility that the international community must jointly fight for," he emphasized.

Kholid added that strengthening diplomacy for Palestine must be directed toward tangible outcomes, such as the protection of civilians, access to humanitarian aid, respect for international law, and support for the establishment of a free and sovereign Palestinian state.

According to him, solidarity for Palestine must continuously be translated into real actions.

"Through parliamentary diplomacy, we aim to rally support so that parliaments in various countries encourage their governments to adopt policies that bolster the protection of the Palestinian people and their struggle for independence," Kholid stated.

"InshaAllah, the Chairman of the Shura Council, Mohamad Sohibul Iman, will replace and continue the leadership of HNW in the MPR leadership," Kholid stated.
