Indonesia-Korea
Special Strategic Partnership
Young Professionals Lab
Jakarta, 21 - 23 September 2022
Welcoming Remarks
Thank you for visiting the website of the Indonesia-Korea Special Strategic Partnership Young Professionals Lab.
I am pleased that Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) – which is the largest foreign policy organization in Indonesia – continues to collaborate with the Korea Foundation (KF) – the institution mandated to conduct Republic of Korea’s public diplomacy – to organize Indonesia-Korea Special Strategic Partnership Young Professionals Lab. This program is aimed to gather fresh ideas and perspectives from Indonesia’s young professionals from various field and serves as platform to engage Indonesia’s and Republic of Korea’s policymakers.
In my experience, policies can only be successful when suggestions from multiple-stakeholders are carefully considered throughout the ideation process to the implementation. I believe it is imperative for the policymakers to consider the view of Indonesia's young professionals to advance Indonesia and Republic of Korea relations. I trust this program would fill in both countries bilateral relations as well as upgrade the Indonesia-Korea relations to the level we hope it to be.
I look forward to seeing you at Indonesia-Korea Special Strategic Partnership Young Professionals Lab on September, 2022.
Salam,
Dr. Dino Patti Djalal,

On behalf of the Korea Foundation (KF), I would like to extend my sincere congratulations and warmest welcome to everyone that has been selected to participate in the Indonesia-Korea Special Strategic Partnership Young Professionals Lab.

As this is the second occasion that the KF and the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) have organized the Young Professionals Lab, I fully anticipate that awaiting you is a more robust program with an even richer assortment of opportunities that will provide a solid foundation from which to launch your professional careers. Over the next few days, you will all be rewarded with a deeper knowledge of Indonesia-Korea relations, as well as the freedom to participate in discussions with well-known experts, and establish relationships with other young scholars. Upon its conclusion, you will not only have made unforgettable memories, but more importantly, you will be well positioned to play an important role in enhancing friendship and collaboration between Korea and Indonesia.
Again, congratulations on being selected as Young Professionals. I sincerely hope you all make lasting achievements as the next generation of policy experts, and find great success in bringing Indonesia and Korea closer together in the future.
