On Friday, March 15, 2024, the International Relations Study Program of the Faculty of Humanities at President University (Presuniv) held a guest lecture together with retired Navy Admiral Dr. Ade Supandi SE, MAP on the topic of Indonesia Towards the Blue Economy and the Role of the Indonesian Navy in Maritime Security. The guest lecture, which was a collaboration between the IR Study Program and the Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, was held at the Fabrication Laboratory, President University Convention Centre, Jl. H. Usmar Ismail, Jababeka City, Cikarang, Bekasi. The event was attended by the Head of the International Relations Study Program, Dr. Jeanne Francoise.

            Through this guest lecture, students were encouraged to learn more about the sea and its potential to advance the national economy. Ade Supandi said, "Perhaps we are not very fond of the sea. But, do not forget that our country is an archipelagic state surrounded by the ocean." He further stated, "Our sea is vast and rich in natural resources. Our sea is also often used as a transit route for large ships. All of this is related to our economy, namely the blue economy. We must be able to benefit from our maritime sector." (Damar Satriawan, PR Team. Photo: Damar Satriawan)
