1 EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM Economic Diplomacy November 2015

2 WELCOME Welcome to the 2015 Emerging Leaders Program Indonesia-Australia relations are back on track, and we have a chance to make them stronger than ever before. When the Australia-Indonesia Centre hosted the inaugural Emerging Leaders Program in May/June this year, I was so pleased. Programs like this, which bring together leaders in both countries to share ideas and exchange knowledge, are so important. Now we have the AIC s Second Emerging Leaders Program, this time involving not just senior and mid-career Indonesian diplomats but leading officials from trade-related ministries and agencies in Indonesia. We celebrated the first program. Now we celebrate the fact that an excellent initiative is continuing. The Second Emerging Leaders Program comes at a time when Indonesia-Australia relations are back on track, and we have a chance to make them stronger than ever before. The recent talks between the President of the Republic of Indonesia, President Joko Widodo, and the Australian Prime Minister, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, were warm and highly productive. Indonesia and Australia have come a long way in more than 60 years of bilateral relations. While differences and problems could arise from time to time, it is in the best interest of the two countries to have closer and stronger bilateral relations. Indonesia is Australia s 12th largest trading partner, and Australia is Indonesia s largest trading partner south of the archipelago. Indonesians are buying billions of dollars worth of Australian wheat, cattle, cotton, and other Australian-made products every year. Australians are investing tens of billions of dollars in agriculture, infrastructure, mining, banking, healthcare, and many other sectors in Indonesia, while Indonesian businesses are investing close to a billion dollars in agriculture, cattle, property and other sectors in Australia. Australia is home to more than 17,000 Indonesian students while more Australians travel to Indonesia every year. In the same spirit, the Government of Australia has launched The New Colombo Plan to provide a valuable opportunity for Australian youths to study and know more about Asia, including Indonesia. The Australia-Indonesia Centre has been one of the strongest proponents of stronger relations and partnership between the two countries. It is making tremendous contributions in the development of greater mutual understanding and expansion in bilateral relations through investment in research, relationships and partnerships. I commend the AIC for sponsoring and hosting the Second Emerging Leaders Program. I am confident that it will benefit the two countries in terms of the promotion of greater mutual understanding as well as stronger linkages and partnerships.

3 WELCOME In 2014 the Australia-Indonesia Centre recognised an opportunity to offer emerging leaders from Australia and Indonesia the chance to build new networks, knowledge and skills together as they move into senior positions in government and business. The Inaugural Australia-Indonesia Emerging Leaders Program was delivered in May 2015 for 30 senior diplomats from Indonesia s Ministry of Foreign Affairs undertaking their final training course (SESPARLU) in preparation to move into the highest positions in the Ministry The 12-day program to Australia included leadership trainings at four of Australia s top universities, masterclasses with senior Australian diplomats and business leaders and a range of cultural experiences. Following the success of the inaugural program, the 2nd Australia-Indonesia Emerging Leaders Program has been expanded to include the addition of 15 emerging trade leaders from government, state-owned enterprises and the private sector from across Indonesia. The 2nd program will run under the theme of Economic Diplomacy, which has been identified as a key priority for both nations. In the months ahead, I am confident that Australia and Indonesia will cooperate in new ways. We have much to gain by working together. I welcome the Australia-Indonesia Centre s Emerging Leaders Program and the opportunities it provides for Indonesian diplomats, officials and business people to see Australia firsthand and better understand bilateral, regional and multilateral issues. The program also provides an excellent introduction for participants to meet and form networks with Australian counterparts, relationships that we hope can be enduring for years to come. In this 70th year of Indonesia s independence it is timely to reflect on how far we have come together. Australia has been a long-standing and committed partner to Indonesia. We recognise that Indonesia s prosperity, stability and growth is in the interests of both our nations and the broader region. We look forward to ongoing cooperation, especially in the economic sectors, building on our innovation, technology and human resources to build a bright future. Australia s ongoing commitment to the bilateral relationship is illustrated in our intention to open a new Consulate-General in Makassar to strengthen commercial and business links in eastern Indonesia and our continued engagement across a broad range of sectors from economic diplomacy, trade, education, security and much more. Senior visits by Australian and Indonesian Ministers demonstrate the seriousness of both sides. I appreciate supporters of this program, including the University of Sydney, the Australian National University, the University of Melbourne and Monash University which will deliver courses to the participants. Australian Government agencies, business, political and community leaders will also engage with the program and host lively discussions. Once again, I congratulate the Australia-Indonesia Centre for hosting this Second Emerging Leaders Program, and I wish the participants well as they immerse themselves in the politics, intellectual pursuits and culture of Australia. HIS EXCELLENCY PAUL GRIGSON Ambassador to Indonesia, Commonwealth of Australia EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

4 WELCOME We must bring Indonesians and Australians together in new ways... the world turns on the strength of people-to-people relationships 4 EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM I have said this many times Indonesia is Australia s most important strategic, economic and cultural partner, and it is about time more is done to foster the trust and understanding that will be required to create lasting mutual interests. The world turns on the strength of people-to-people relationships. As Chair of The Australia-Indonesia Centre, I meet many people from different walks of life who have an association or an interest in Australia- Indonesia matters. Some are seeking business deals. Some have family connections. Some Australians care a great deal about the many rich and complex worlds within the world of Indonesia. My greatest sense is that we must bring Indonesians and Australians together in new ways, so that relationships can be on a firmer footing. The AIC has started doing this through research, where we have more than one hundred researchers Indonesians and Australians engaged in collaborative programs in areas like infrastructure, health, agriculture and energy. We have also launched a new fashion alliance, new forums for female leaders, and more high-level briefings and lectures by an impressive array of business, government and academic leaders. The 2015 Emerging Leaders Program has been widely supported because it gives Indonesian leaders an opportunity to engage with some of our best leaders, while most importantly allowing time to also experience Australian culture and down-to-earth hospitality. It is a great privilege to welcome the Emerging Leaders Program delegates to Australia. Our ambition is to host more of these leadership-development and relationship-building programs as we build momentum towards bigger shared outcomes. HAROLD MITCHELL AC Chair, The Australia-Indonesia Centre

5 WELCOME Now that came around quickly. It seems like only last week that we were enjoying the company of the inaugural participants in the Australia- Indonesian Centre s Emerging Leaders Program. I can still see those smiles, the competitive banter at a football match, the singing, the clever questions at university and community events, the wonderful speeches and the camaraderie, and I laugh when I remember the phrase that came to represent the essence of what the delegates achieved - Super bloody bagus!. The first Emerging Leaders Program worked. It felt good. It lightened the heart and it enriched the soul in so many lasting ways. Staff at the Australia-Indonesia Centre embraced the Emerging Leaders Program delegates in May/June this year, and we are looking forward to building friendships again. The foundation elements of the program are first rate: lectures at prestigious universities, a masterclass by former ambassadors, business case studies, networking dinners and cultural events. The Australia-Indonesia Centre sends a big thank you to government, academic and business partners who once again have made the Emerging Leaders Program possible. The AIC is passionate about the importance of the Australia-Indonesia relationship. We want to build friendships that can improve bilateral trust and stand the test of time. At the heart of this process is a simple but powerful tool that has brought people together over centuries. The tool is dialogue. Dialogue is one of life s most treasured opportunities. It brings people together in such a fundamental, enriching way. It can strengthen personal relationships. It can solve problems. Dialogue can remind us of the power of culture, rather than of the culture of power. The Emerging Leaders Program, spread over twelve days in three Australian cities, creates the opportunity for diplomatic, cultural, economic, political and interfaith dialogue. Our guests will be embraced in a series of forums. We welcome them warmly. PAUL RAMADGE Director, The Australia-Indonesia Centre You have a strong sense when a crosscultural program works. It lightens the heart and it enriches the soul in so many lasting ways. EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

6 WELCOME In business, relationships are everything - understand cust and respond. It is so pleasing to see a fresh Australia-Indo requires nuanced understanding built from strong, trusted r An excellent addition to the many initiatives that bring the countries closer together. PwC is passionate about building stronger linkages between Australia and Indonesia. With more friendships and greater trust, an exciting world of business and cultural opportunities opens up for these neighbouring nations. The 2015 Emerging Leaders Program developed by The Australia-Indonesia Centre is an excellent addition to the many initiatives, from defence to policing, business, academia and the arts, that bring the countries closer together. PwC is proud to be a major sponsor. ANDREW PARKER Partner, PwC Board member, The Australia-Indonesia Centre It is through such programs that stronger relationships, knowledge sharing and deeper understanding can emerge. I write in support of a valuable program developed by The Australia-Indonesia Centre to bring Indonesian diplomats and trade leaders to Australia in March 2015 for leadership development training. It is through such programs that stronger relationships, knowledge sharing and deeper understanding can emerge. I am a big believer in fostering people-to-people links. Relationships are the starting point from which we can foster cross-cultural trust. I encourage the AIC to continue its important work in bringing these neighbouring countries closer together. ROSS FITZGERALD Director, Visy Industries Board member, The Australia-Indonesia Centre 6 EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. The famous quote of Benjamin Franklin fits very well with the outlook of Indonesia and Australia in this increasingly competitive and globalised world. Geographically, the nations are so close, yet we have so many differences. The obligations for both nations are very clear: not only must we learn and understand each other, we must strive to build joint competitive opportunities and more resilient and sustainable pillars of economic, political and cultural engagement. Otherwise, we shall be hanged separately. For almost 30 years, I have been involved in government-to-government and governmentto-business relations in the areas of diplomacy, trade, finance and investment. Most recently I was Chair of Indonesia s Coordinating Investment Board (BKPM), which works towards creating an attractive investment climate to boost domestic and foreign direct investment. The 2015 Emerging Leaders Program is such an important step on the road to learning about each other. I congratulate the inaugural delegates from Indonesia on their selection, and pass on a big well done to the many organisations engaged in the program. MAHENDRA SIREGAR Board member, The Australia-Indonesia Centre

DEBNATH GUHAROY President, Australia Indonesia Business Council Over the 60 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and Indonesia, the people of both countries have sought to connect and build relations with one another. The Australia Indonesia Centre - including the Emerging Leaders Program - follows in this long tradition and seeks to further develop people ties at a time when mutual interest in each country appears to be going backward. We - at the Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) - are proud to support and work with the AIC in its pursuit of this exciting and important endeavour. The greater the ties between Australians and Indonesians, the stronger the relationship will become. NICHOLAS MARK President, Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

10 LEADERSHIP TRAINING SERIES Australian National University Leadership and Economic Diplomacy in a Complex Region About the University The ANU was established in 1946 as a research-intensive endowment for the nation. Research and learning about the Asia-Pacific region was specified as one of its four foundation themes. The ANU is a vibrant national institution that continues to have a pre-eminent role in research and teaching about the Asia-Pacific. It is home to the largest community of Indonesia scholars in Australia: more than 50 academics, around 150 research students and hundreds of coursework students. Among them are some 300 Indonesian nationals. Economics, including through the Indonesia Project established 50 years ago, politics and public policy are major areas of focus, with other significant nodes of activity in energy and the environment. Course Overview Indonesia and Australia share a region that is undergoing rapid and sometimes destabilising economic, strategic and political change. This rapid change brings considerable risks and challenges for each nation, as well as opportunities and potential benefits. Some of these are economic, domestically and in terms of international trade liberalisation. Others relate to rising tensions in the region. Several ASEAN members are in dispute with China regarding territories in the South China Sea, and the United States and China are increasingly vying for dominance and seeking support from other nations in the region. In addition to this, terrorism, illegal people movements and transnational crime require cross-national collaboration to combat their spread. The ANU workshop will address these regional issues, drawing on internationally respected scholars on Indonesia and Southeast Asia at the ANU, with emphasis on open discussion of the issues. Professor Rory Medcalf Professor Rory Medcalf is Head of the ANU National Security College. His professional background involves experience across diplomacy, intelligence analysis, think tanks and journalism. Most recently he was the Director of the International Security Program at the Lowy Institute for International Policy. He has also been a senior strategic analyst with the Office of National Assessments and a diplomat in three countries in the Indo-Pacific region. Professor Hal Hill Hal Hill is the H.W. Arndt Professor of Southeast Asian Economies at the Australian National University. His general research interests are the economies of ASEAN; industrialization and foreign investment in East Asia; regional (subnational) development; and the political economy of development. He is the author or editor of 18 books and has written about 150 academic papers and book chapters. 10 EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

During the Australia Indonesia Emerging Leaders Program, participants will be exposed to an array of insights into leading in a complex world.

Monash University and its Business School have a long history of engagement with Indonesia and have played an important role supporting Indonesian scholarship. Course Overview Thinking effectively about strategic planning, capabilities development and the importance of resource transfers to economic growth is central to economic diplomacy. The way that state and private sector leaders reason through strategic challenges has a profound impact on the types of productive opportunities that emerge from trade and investment. Central to these socio-economic outcomes are approaches to engagement and risk management. For example, negotiations sometimes become adversarial zero-sum games which negate the benefit of trade and investment. However, long term fruitful collaboration is possible providing certain criteria are prioritised. The day will introduce frameworks for productive engagement. Through case studies we will explore the strategic role of economic diplomacy in stimulating entrepreneurial activity and establishing industry and service clusters. We will also participate in role playing activities that provide participants with the opportunity to apply their new knowledge and make it their own. Professor Edward Buckingham Professor Edward Buckingham is Director of Engagement at Monash Business School. Prior to joining Monash Business School in July 2015, Edward spent two years at Nottingham University s Business School in Ningbo, China.
