"Cyber diplomacy carried out by states exists at two levels, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies located throughout the world. By operating at two levels, countries can adapt foreign policy messages and the image of their country according to the characteristics of local audiences - for example history , their culture, values and traditions – in order to achieve the foreign policy targets and image they want to build," said Pratama. In addition to diplomacy between countries, diplomats also interact with various non-state actors, such as leaders of internet companies (for example Facebook or Google), technology entrepreneurs or civil society organizations.
After the resource person gave his presentation, a question and answer session was opened for the resource person by students. Students were very active in asking questions to the resource person and were enthusiastic from the start in participating in this general studium and the 5 questioners with the best questions each received 100 US Dollars given by the resource person.
