This experience is very valuable and I will make it a provision for my future career.”

Aisyah was involved in various aspects of protection and support for Indonesian citizens abroad, including handling cases, case documents and providing legal assistance. Aisyah gained an understanding and insight into the challenges faced by Indonesian citizens abroad especially in the Middle East and how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plays a role in protecting their rights. This is in line with efforts to achieve SDG 16, namely peace, justice and strong institutions.

Dengan terlibat langsung dalam kegiatan di Kemenlu, kedua mahasiswa ini diharapkan dapat mengaplikasikan pengetahuan yang mereka peroleh di bangku kuliah ke dalam praktik nyata, serta mengembangkan keterampilan yang akan berguna dalam karier masa depan mereka. Mereka tidak hanya mendapatkan pengalaman praktis yang berharga, tetapi juga berkontribusi secara langsung dalam proses diplomasi dan perlindungan warga negara yang merupakan elemen penting dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan.
