“there has never been a graduate who continued on to be a diplomat although international relations are heavily related with diplomacy and international affairs”. He said during an interview with us.

He argues that most of the graduate are lacking in terms of relations with international relations actors and therefore, through FPCI he believes that he can widen the scope of the relations that international relations of UPH has that can increase the chances of them becoming a diplomat.

We also had the chance to speak with Arief’s predecessor, Mr. Surya Raditya and talk about his hopes and expectations of Arief as he began the journey of leadership in FPCI Chapter UPH. Mr. Raditya hoped that in the next one year Arief would be more active not only in terms of conducting events inside the campus but also can act as the bridge for students of UPH and international relations related event outside the campus. He also said that Arief must uphold the spirit of excellence in managing the FPCI Chapter UPH Secretariat.

We wish nothing more than to see FPCI Chapter UPH under Arief’s leadership can bring a positive impact not only to UPH International Relations student but also to UPH in general and to Indonesia.
