Indonesia - Plans for an Iranian media delegation’s visit to Indonesia in October 2026 were the main topic of discussion at a coordination meeting held on Tuesday (September 16). The meeting, facilitated by Abdullah, the coordinator of Iran Corner, brought together Iranian cultural representatives and several Indonesian national media outlets to lay the groundwork for journalistic cooperation between the two countries.

This meeting to establish media cooperation between Indonesia and Iran was held online via Google Meet on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The meeting was attended by Dr. Yahya Jahangiri Suhrawardi, Cultural Counselor at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Dr. Moch. Fauzie Said, M.Si., owner of Fasznews.com, political policy expert at Brawijaya University, and Secretary of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Brawijaya University; Mistam, Director of Programs and Production at the Indonesian Public Broadcasting Institution Radio Republik Indonesia (LPP RRI); Imam Ghozali, a senior local staff member at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Jakarta; Abdullah, S.Sos., M.Hub.Int., Director of the Iran Corner at Brawijaya University; Andi Permadi from the RRI Directorate of Programs and Production; Dinia Sari Dewi from Brawijaya University Media; and Astrid Damayanti, M.A., Editor-in-Chief of Fasznews.com, along with several other participants

In his opening remarks, Abdullah explained that this meeting was organized because a team of Iranian media representatives is scheduled to visit Indonesia from late September through October to explore opportunities for cooperation and joint programs between Iranian and Indonesian media. As the Director of the Iran Corner at Brawijaya University and the facilitator of the meeting, he hopes this forum will serve as an opportunity for both sides to get to know one another and discuss potential programs.

Dr. Yahya Jahangiri Suhrawardi stated that the Iranian media delegation’s visit to Indonesia will take place from late September through October. The visit is scheduled to include a media seminar and discussions on joint programs between journalists from both countries. This occasion will also be used to inaugurate two new Iran Corners in Yogyakarta and Malang.

Dr. Moch. Fauzie Said expressed the readiness of the Indonesian media to welcome and establish cooperation with the visiting Iranian media. He emphasized his full support for plans for joint programs, which will be discussed further ahead of the delegation’s arrival this coming October.

Fasznews.com also expressed its readiness to welcome the delegation. Astrid Damayanti reaffirmed her media outlet’s commitment to providing chronological coverage of the upcoming series of events. According to her, continuous documentation is important to facilitate program monitoring and evaluation. Fasznews.com is known for actively covering political, legal, economic, educational, religious, lifestyle, and technology issues, both nationally and internationally.

Meanwhile, Mistam, Director of Programming and Production at LPP RRI, introduced several platforms operated by RRI, including national radio broadcasts and “Voice of Indonesia,” which also highlight geopolitical issues and national-scale audio content. He noted that RRI and Iranian broadcasting organizations have long been connected through the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, opening the door to further collaboration between the two broadcasting organizations.

Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) also expressed its readiness to expand cooperation. Andi Permadi revealed that his organization and the Iranian broadcasting organization are both members of the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) and are likely to meet again this coming December. He also reflected on past collaborations—including a performance by Iranian musicians at RRI two years ago—as a foundation for developing further collaboration in capacity building and joint content production.

As a follow-up, the participants agreed to form a joint communication group to facilitate coordination of the visit’s schedule and itinerary. RRI also committed to sharing video recordings of the Iranian musicians’ performances as a shared reference. The final schedule for the delegation’s visit, including the inauguration of the Iran Corner in the two cities, will be confirmed at a follow-up meeting. (adf)
