to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, Vice President Jusuf Kalla said
hereon Saturday.
He said that Indonesia had already expressed its readiness to participate in
the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon if requested to and had even prepared a
battalion for it.

Egypt, Congo, Bosnia and Cambodia, he said.
"Indonesia's experience in participating in international forces is
extraordinary and Indonesia might possibly even be the first Association of
