President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono appreciated the National Police on Thursday for its endless fight against terrorism, but underlined that concerted efforts among nations across the world would be needed to eliminate acts of terror.
Yudhoyono said the root cause of terrorism was a sense of injustice felt in some parts of the globe.
"There is a perception, a feeling; that the world looks unfair, that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor... the wars in the Middle East; in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and many other global problems are seen as a result of global injustice," the President said during a breaking of the fast dinner with journalists at the Presidential Palace.
"The solution is we have to build a just, peaceful and prosperous world. We hope that people will lend a hand to those in troubles, and that there will be a solution to halt wars in the Middle East," he added.
Other root causes, Yudhoyono said, were poverty, underdevelopment as well as radical and extremist beliefs.
The President thanked the police for conducting their duty to enforce law and protect the nation from terrorism threat.
Earlier in the day the counter-terror squad stormed into a hideout of suspected terrorists in Surakarta in Central Java, killing four people, including top Al-Qaeda-linked fugitive Noordin M. Top.
