VOInews, Jakarta : The development of Indonesia's human resources through the values, culture and aspirations of the nation globally can enhance Indonesia's positive image in the eyes of the international community.

This was said by the Director of Public Diplomacy, Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ani Nigeriawati in her remarks at the International Seminar ‘Navigating the Future of the Indo-Pacific’ held by The Habibie Center in Jakarta, Thursday (21/11) According to Ani, the Indonesian government also continues to increase efforts for innovative strategies to promote growth, inclusiveness and resilience to be responsive to regional and global challenges.

“Indonesia's commitment to strengthening its domestic potential is further reflected in its international approach to soft power diplomacy which serves as a foundation of our foreign policy. By projecting the nation's values, culture, and aspirations globally, it enhances Indonesia's image as a pluralistic, democratic, and inclusive country. This approach is also built on rich cultural diversity, multi-religious, multi-faith heritage, and historical experiences enabling narratives that resonate regionally and globally. And the success of these efforts is driven by collaboration with multi-stakeholders with civil society, with academics, think-tanks, youths, and women religious leaders to ensure that these efforts are inclusive and aligned with its national interests.”

Ani Nigeriawati further said that Indonesia also contributes to global development through initiatives such as ‘Indonesian Aid for Development Cooperation’ which supports capacity building and sustainable growth in partner countries.

According to Ani, these efforts reaffirm Indonesia's role as a reliable partner in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. In parallel, various positive narratives about Indonesia's contributions, such as through ‘Indonesian Aid, have helped connect Indonesia's foreign policy with global narratives and project a positive image of Indonesia internationally//VOI
