"So, now the ball is in the executive or in the government," said Puan.

Previously, Puan said that global diplomacy was the key, not only strengthening bilateral cooperation but also being a strategic driver who ensured Indonesia's active role on the world stage.

Puan also hopes that the Indonesian ambassador to friendly countries will be able to bridge Indonesia's diplomacy with the international community.

"It is great hope that the alley ambassadors will receive assignments, so that they can become Indonesia's diplomatic bridge with the international community as well as possible," said Puan.
