ANIES BASWEDAN, RECTOR, PARAMADIMA UNIVERSITY
Anticipation is building for the return of former jakarta resident Barack Obama.But not everyone is thrilled by the visit of the U.S. president. There are plans for protests by Muslim groups, despite Obama's calls for dialogue.
We talked with Anies Baswedan, Rector of Paramadima University, who says overall, the reception will be positive.
AB: I think the Indonesians feel very happy and sort of offering a warm welcome to Obama. I know we should not make this visit as a super visit. This is just another U.S. president coming. But the difference is, this is someone who has changed the tone of the U.S, foreign policy. And it has offered hand to extend a better relationship between the U.S. and many in the rest of the world.
IN: Do you think that with having an Indonesian background makes this U.S. -Indonesia a special relationship?
AB: Even the theme of this visit is “Pulang Kampung (Returning Home).” That's the theme. What does it mean? It means Obama presidency put Indonesia in a special place in their mind. And think we need to capitalize on this. We need to take advantage of the fact that we have someone who spent their few years of a lifetime in Indonesia, now is a pilot of the most powerful country.
IN: What should we expect from the visit? AB: We're now member of the G-20. Let's have Obama resonate our capability, our potentials across the globe. Who will serve a better PR than Obama, to say across the globe? Look, I'm in Indonesia and this is a big country, democracy, divers, Muslim majority. The economy is growing one of the three countries that is growing during the crisis. It has tremendous potentials to play a big role in the international arena. If that is being said, and having Obama to come, the world spotlight is coming to Indonesia. It is an opportunity to explain we have democracy and things in the right direction.
