Indonesian Ambassador to the Philippines Agus Widjojo
Indonesian Ambassador to the Philippines Agus Widjojo, dressed in his signature vibrant batik shirt, greeted guests with warmth, wit, and charisma-setting a relaxed and engaging tone for the afternoon.
When asked how Indonesia and the Philippines could further strengthen their 70-year-old diplomatic ties, Ambassador Widjojo responded with a lighthearted remark:
"This is a never-ending question. If this year is stronger, you'll still have another question: how can you make it stronger for next year?"
The gathering, attended by key embassy officials and media representatives, marked the first formal press event since 2022. It also served as a prelude to the upcoming celebration of the 76th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the Philippines, to be commemorated on Nov. 24.
