  • Embassy of India Jakarta Feedback Received from Indonesian Delegates After Visiting India to Attend 2 Nd ASEAN-India Youth Summ
    Embassy of India Jakarta Feedback received from Indonesian delegates after visiting India to attend 2 nd ASEAN-India Youth Summit on 3-7 February 2019 at Guwahati, Assam 1. Ms. Eva Maria Putri Salsabila As a writer and a life-long learner, I'm always excited to travel and gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in. India, with the diverse culture and cheerful people, has always been one of the top country on my list. I feel deeply blessed going there as one of the delegate representing Indonesia in the 2nd ASEAN-India Youth Summit. It was a last minute chance, and I hesitated at the beginning as it was such a huge responsibility and privilege at the same time. At the end I took the chance anyway because I feel like it can be a great experience to develop my knowledge and network. I promise myself I won't take this for granted and follow every activity wholeheartedly. The preparation took very little time. I got the notice that I'm nominated to go on Thursday, I took care of the visa application and join the briefing on Friday, and on Saturday we flew to India. I didn't think I'm gonna make it, but I guess when the India Embassy assisted your preparation, everything is possible. It's relieving to see the support that the embassy gave for our delegation. They gave us thorough briefings on what to do and not to do there. It's sweet how they want us to cherish every experience and just enjoy the moments there.
