| dc.description.abstract | Public diplomacy is one of the important ways for Japan to build mutual
understanding between Japan and Indonesia through the Japan Foundation. Japan
focuses on long-term relationships for a 5 year period based on the Outline of the
Basic Plan on the Promotion of Culture and The Arts in Japan published by the
Ministry of Education (MEXT) in 2017. The Japan Foundation's diplomacy
strategy in Indonesia in 2012-2017 impacted on the cooperation agreement
between Japan and Indonesia in 2015 in the “Joint Statement Strategic
Partnership: Towards Further Strengthening of the Strategic Partnership
Underpinned by Sea and Democracy”. It also increases the exchange of citizens
between Japan and Indonesia and fosters more interest in Japanese culture and
studies in Indonesia. In addition, it is not only intended to gain an understanding
of Japan, but also to increase the level of trust internationally through exchanging
citizens in other countries, public relations activities at each Japanese embassy
and building communication with other countries through Japanese cultural
attractions. In public diplomacy strategy, the Japan Foundation implements three
strategies in Mark Leonard's public diplomacy concept, which focuses on
long-term relationship strategies, through cultural exchanges, language training,
conferences, and so on. | en_US |
