Indian Mission to ASEAN: Soft Opening and Inauguration

April 13
Soft Opening Indian Mission to ASEAN

Today is one of India's first event as to begin a new mission to ASEAN. We have prepared everything for this event. Sending and following up all of the invitations. Here is one of the news related to our event.




India is set to officially begin a diplomatic mission in the ASEAN region on April 22 in a bid to boost ties with member states of what it calls a unique grouping of countries with high economic potential.

Indian Ambassador to ASEAN Suresh K. Reddy said India’s relations with ASEAN were very important because of the current economic potential existing between his country and ASEAN.

He said India had a robust flow of investments into Southeast Asian nations and vice versa.

“Our trade is healthy,” he said on the sidelines of a soft opening of the Indian Mission to ASEAN held in Central Jakarta on Monday.

Suresh said the value of trade between India and ASEAN was currently US$90 billion but hopefully could be increased to $200 billion.

The newly installed ambassador also said India and ASEAN were similar in terms of economic growth, which was led by the private sector.

“When we look at the strong economic growth of India and of ASEAN members, actually, there is a lot of potential to be tapped into,” Suresh said.

He expected to see more economic partnerships between India’s companies and those of Southeast Asian nations.

“So, there is a lot of synergy existing  between India’s private sector and that of ASEAN countries. That is one of our focuses,” Suresh told The Jakarta Post.

According to him, Indian relations with ASEAN were very important not only in terms of economic cooperations, but also because of long-maintained historical ties.

Suresh said that India was a country that historically had very close relations with all ASEAN countries.

“Our relations are not suddenly started today or yesterday. It is a relationship based on shared history and traditions,” he said.

Suresh further said that his country’s commitment to the ASEAN region had begun quite sometime ago, adding that it had been holding dialogues with the association’s members since the early 1990s.

“And today, our setting up of an independent mission to ASEAN is a reflection of our commitment to strengthening partnerships with ASEAN and with the people of the association,” he said.

“It is basically aimed at promoting people-to-people relations. It is for the benefit of our people.”

He viewed ASEAN as a very unique association of countries, saying that perhaps it was the only grouping that every major country in the world wished to engage with. (alm) - See more at: http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/04/15/india-officially-begin-diplomatic-mission-asean.html#sthash.t8h3zKHj.dpuf

ISFIT Preparation

Semenjak pengumuman dr ISFIT Norway awal November lalu (saya ingat sekali tepatnya tanggal 4 November, saya sungguh hampir lupa saya pernah apply, saat itu saya sedang menginap di rumah teman saya Audrey sehabis bekerja hingga larut malam, saya sungguh tidak membayangkan ini terjadi tapi Tuhan membukakan jalan, semoga bisa mengerjakan dengan baik:D). Sebelumnya flashback sedikit tentang proses saya mendaftar. Saya mengetahui ISFIT dari beberapa teman di UI dan sahabat saya Septian yang menjadi delegasi ISFIT tahun 2013. Saat itu, saya melihat topik-topiknya, membaca websitenya di isfit.org. Sangat menarik. Topiknya berada di antara isu-isu sosial, politik, hukum, dan topik global lainnya. Cara seleksi untuk mengikuti ISFIT ini adalah dengan mengirim 2 esai (sebetulnya 3, tapi esai ketiga ini tidak wajib, dan itu jika ingin mendapat travel support, karena ISFIT hanya menanggung akomodasi dan transportasi selama disana, tiket pulang pergi dari negara tidak ditanggung). Karena samb...

Kelas Inspirasi Bojonegoro, 2 Mei 2016

Daerah, bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam pembangunan di Indonesia. Sarat dengan problema. Tidak jarang konflik timbul antara pusat dan daerah. Termasuk masalah pembangunan bidang-bidang fundamental salah satunya pendidikan. Pasalnya, belum banyak yang menyadari bahwa sedemikian pentingnya pendidikan yang bertujuan untuk memanusiakan manusia. Bukan hanya kognitif semata, tapi afeksi, moral dan pendidikan dalam pelajaran hidup lainnya. Hati ini yang menggerakkan untuk melangkahkan kaki menuju Bojonegoro, di hari pembuka di bulan Mei yang lalu. Tiba di Surabaya pk 07.00 setelah pagi hari saya mengambil flight pagi dari Soekarno-Hatta, saya naik bus Damri dari bandara Juanda menuju Bungur, sampai di Bungur pk 8.15. Di Bungur, saya mengambil bus jurusan Bojonegoro. Perjalanan hari itu sangat menyenangkan, tidak terlalu ramai, naik bus di daerah yang cukup asing buat saya, tapi saya sungguh sangat menikmatinya. Menyenangkan sekali naik bus antar kota di Jawa Timur. Saya tiba di termi...

Kala Hujan Di Puncak Merapi

Jumat di pertengahan Maret menghantar kami menuju salah satu ciptaan Tuhan yang tentunya tidak kalah  indah dari ciptaan lainnya di alam semesta ini, yang membentang di bagian tengah Pulau Jawa, sebagian menyebutnya angker, tetapi kami sungguh sudah menantinya, Gunung Merapi, 2930 mdpl. Kisah kami dimulai dari hari itu, setelah lelah kami bekerja. Bagi saya saat ini, waktu untuk bercengkrama dengan alam sangatlah terbatas. Tidak semudah dahulu setiap bosan bisa pergi ke pantai atau gunung dalam tiap bulan. Sekarang, situasinya berbeda. Selalu ada konsekuensi dari setiap pilihan, bukan? Tetaplah ingat betapa berharganya waktu bersama orang-orang yang kita sayangi. Memasuki sore dengan cuaca cerah, berangkatlah kami dari Stasiun Senen Jakarta menuju Stasiun Solojebres. `Dini hari Sabtu, kami telah tiba di stasiun, menunggu Pak Nardi menjemput kami ke basecamp Merapi di Selo. Teman perjalanan saya dalam pendakian Merapi ini: Yupi, Ismi, Hilmi, Raihan, Bams, Handoyo, d...
