Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia’s Roles

A Minister of Foreign Affairs, or foreign minister, is a cabinet minister who helps form the foreign policy of a sovereign state. A foreign minister's powers can vary from government to government, so I have an important role to communicate with the external relations. I am the one who is responsible to solve every issue of foreign affairs, foreigner who live in Indonesia and Indonesian who live abroad are under my attention. The managing strategies are did in Indonesian’s internal government and external government of every countries in relation with Indonesia.

Foreigner who live in Indonesia for temporary or lasting should obey every kind of the government rules and as the government I will give them their rights as the citizen. They have decided living in Indonesia so they should prepare to be Indonesian, read Indonesian nationality law, it is a law regulating about who an Indonesian citizen is, the requirements and how to obtain Indonesian citizenship, the loss of Indonesian citizenship, the requirements and how to re-obtain Indonesian citizenship, and the penal provision. For political asylum, someone may ask for political asylum when they are frightened to live in their own country. They will then go to another country, if they are allowed to live in the new country this is called political asylum. If they are allowed to live in Indonesia means that they should not make any kinds of crime, although they are foreigner by their appearance the government or policemen should do their duty on track without toleration. So that’s why reading and understanding Indonesian nationality law becomes important for people who ask for politic asylum to live in Indonesia. Some of foreigners live in Indonesia for studying, so the time is just temporary. Usually the university which are chosen are universities with very good quality in international level such as Gajah Mada University and Institut Tekhnologi Bandung. Although still many of universities which are interested enough for them beside the international level of university, it shows that Indonesia’s education especially higher education is growing up and being looked for by foreigner students. That’s great, they will be comfortable living here because they live in save and under my attention.
One of reasons why Indonesian government, especially Department of Foreign Affairs (deplu) should maintain great relation with other countries are to make sure that Indonesian affairs have gotten their rights as foreigner. Some cases of living as foreigner are under pressure, the problem might be solved by a good communication of each country. In fact many Indonesian live abroad for some reasons, as students, entrepreneur, and TKI. This year Indonesian students who study abroad are 4.000 students, it could not be a small number. They will have some contributions to bring Indonesia hopefully in the bright future if they come back in this country, so as the government I take my attention more to take care them and help them living in the best environment for studying. Another one is some Indonesians who have decided to build their business abroad, for example in Malaysia, Australia, Japan, Singapore and if they succeed build a good business there usually it caused they change their nationality. It becomes my homework to make them believe to bring their capability on business in Indonesia, otherwise the business system in Indonesia has to be improved first. This case needs cooperation with some sides in relation. The most crucial problem is about Indonesian labour or TKI, in this case a great communication with other countries is very needed, government to government relation. I have done a cooperation with them to give a good place and an acceptable environment for living. Hopefully there is not any kinds of mistreatment which occur to them.
Indonesia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry is the one who have responsibility to take her big awareness in Indonesian affairs, Indonesian affairs are more important beside the big number of them is because they have contribution in our economic side especially for this case is TKI. That’s why they called heroes of our country devisa. So I will do my best to maintain a great relation with the other countries in order to support world peace, I hope there would be mistreatment anymore which occur to our brother or sister who work abroad.
