The Head of the Bureau of News Agency ANTARA New York from 1993-1998 assessed that Prof. Yuddy Chrisnandi as the Head of the Indonesian Representative for Ukraine has carried out “First track diplomacy”, in the sense of bringing closer relations and cooperation between governments or “G to G” (Government to Government) well.

In the future, this proud achievement needs to be followed up with “Second track diplomacy”, as a diplomatic activity involving non-government actors, commonly known as “B to B” (Business to Business) and “P to P” (People to People) relationships. .

The Chief Editor of the 2016 ANTARA News Agency added, “Second track diplomacy”, especially through cultural diplomacy which is an important part of the “P to P” relationship, needs to be improved in an effort to increase mutual understanding and bring closer relations between the Indonesian people and the Ukrainian people.

“In this regard, journalists or journalists in both countries can play a very significant role in the framework of ‘Second track diplomacy’,” said the advisor to the Indonesian Academics Forum (FAI).
