On June 23, 2022, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Japan, H.E. Heri Akhmadi, visited Waseda University to speak to commerce students about trade relations between Japan and Indonesia.
As part of his visit, Ambassador Akhmadi sat down with University President Aiji Tanaka to discuss how Waseda University could play a role in strengthening the relationship between Japan and Indonesia through student exchange programs and partnerships.
Attending the meeting together with Ambassador Akhmadi from the Embassy were Meinarti Fauzie (Head of Media and Socio-cultural Section), Jurman Saputra Nazar (Secretary II, Media and Socio-cultural Section), Yusli Wardiatno (Head of Education and Cultural Section), and Oentoro Surya (Advisor of PT Energi Global Sejati and Waseda alumnus). From the University; Professor Kazuhiko Yokota (School of Commerce) and Masahiko Gemma (Vice President for International Affairs and International Fundraising) were present.
Ambassador Akhmadi explained that the Indonesian government is currently focusing on strengthening higher-educational cooperation between Indonesia and top-level Universities in Japan, as many undergraduate students in Indonesia can take two semesters domestically or abroad as part of their studies. President Tanaka explained the various study abroad options for students who are looking to come to Waseda, as well as how the situation has been faring due to the improving Covid-19 situation. To this, Ambassador Akhmadi remarked that he was impressed not only with the numbers of incoming international students to Waseda, but also the University’s efforts on encouraging its own Japanese students to go abroad.
Waseda University would like to express its thanks to Ambassador Akhmadi for taking the time to visit the University and provide the opportunities for both students and University personnel to reflect on the current relationship and ties between Indonesia and Japan. We look forward to increased cooperation between the two countries in many areas, including higher education.
Global Conversations at Waseda:
Waseda University has had the privilege of welcoming many prestigious guests, including active leaders and organizations from around the world, who come to speak and collaborate with our students, faculty, and staff concerning global issues, or the ties between Japan and abroad. In May earlier this year, members of the U.S. Congress and representatives of the 2022 FMC visited the University to meet with students and discuss international matters and U.S. policies.
