Q4) Willi Ashadi, SHI., MA. -> Assalamualaikum wr wb. Dear everyone. I am Willing Ashadi from Universitas Indonesia and also as Ph D student at International Islamic University Malaysia. I want to address my question to Prof Alwi. As You mentioned earlier that Islam is an example of great diplomacy like agreement of Hudaibiyah, Piagam Madinah and so on. My question is How is the best practice to implement that good diplomacy especially in muslim countries and particularly in Indonesian Politics. I believe that, if we want to be good diplomacy, we need to keep on our good diplomacy inside first and then to the outside.
