Alwi Shihab

Alwi Shihab's career is marked by his unique role as a bridge-builder between Islam and Christianity. He is one of the few figures who has held high-level political office while maintaining scholarly credibility. His diplomatic work, particularly his tenure as Foreign Minister and Special Envoy to the Middle East, has had a lasting impact on Indonesia's foreign relations. His ongoing interfaith initiatives, including his 2024 meeting with President Nelson, highlight his continued relevance.
