Embracing significant responsibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n\nIn an interview on Monday, January 20, 2025, Wibawa expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him, recognizing the weight of the responsibility. \u201cThis appointment signifies a deep level of trust, both in me personally and in 51动漫. It is a mission I must carry out with utmost dedication. My success in this role will ultimately be judged by my superiors, the public, and the relevant stakeholders,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n
The selection process was conducted internally by the Secretariat General, but Wibawa\u2019s acceptance involved careful consultation with his family and colleagues at UNAIR\u2019s Department of Communications.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cMy family plays a vital role in every major career decision. Relocating abroad is not just my journey\u2014it also involves my family, particularly my children, who will need to adapt to a new environment. While it is challenging to leave my extended UNAIR Communications family, I hope this opportunity will generate broader benefits for the communities I serve,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\nIGAK Satrya Wibawa during inauguration of Permanent Delegation of the Republic of Indonesia to UNESCO (Photo: By courtesy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nAdvocating for Indonesia\u2019s cultural heritage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\nWith a solid academic foundation in communications and extensive experience in international relations, Wibawa is well-equipped for his new role. Previously, he served as Education Attach\u00e9 at the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore and played a key role in establishing UNAIR\u2019s Airlangga Global Engagement (AGE) office.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThis experience has honed my ability to navigate multilateral communication across countries and cultures. I believe effective policies stem from strong interpersonal communication. Moreover, I plan to leverage digital media as a primary tool to engage with UNESCO stakeholders,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n
Wibawa also underscored the importance of preserving Indonesia\u2019s cultural heritage, such as batik and Reog Ponorogo, both recognized by UNESCO. \u201cThe next priority is to implement UNESCO\u2019s directives to preserve these cultural assets. This includes supporting local artists and encouraging youth involvement in cultural associations. As Indonesia\u2019s representative, I aim to advance and capitalize on our prior achievements,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n
Urgency of global engagement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\nAddressing UNAIR\u2019s students and faculty, Wibawa emphasized the critical need for international engagement. He noted Indonesia\u2019s rich natural and cultural resources and urged the country to shift from being mere consumers to becoming producers who can influence global markets.<\/p>\n\n
“International involvement is not just about appearances but about contributing actively to global issues. Let us collaborate, engage in dialogue, and take concrete action to address the world\u2019s pressing challenges,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n
