Indonesia has vowed to continue playing an "active role" in global sports after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) urged federations not to stage events there following the Southeast Asian country's ban on Israeli gymnasts.

The IOC's executive board said on Oct 22 it would "recommend to all international federations not to host any international sports events or meetings in Indonesia" until it provided guarantees over access for all participants in competitions.
The board said it also ended dialogue with the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation on hosting any future Olympic events.
It came after Indonesia denied visas for Israelis to compete at the ongoing world artistic gymnastics championships in Jakarta, citing support for the Palestinians.
In a show of defiance, Indonesia's Sports and Youth Minister Erick Thohir said on Oct 23 that Jakarta was aware its ban on Israelis "carries consequences".
