An Indonesian Army officer has become the first TNI personnel to complete his education at the Royal Jordanian National Defence College in Jordan.
An official press release from the Indonesian Army Information Department received in Jakarta on Tuesday stated that the officer was Colonel Inf. Achmad Fikri Dalimunthe.
He completed his education at RJNDC and earned a Master's degree in Management and Strategic Studies with excellent grades.
RJNDC is a strategic defense education institution in Jordan which is equivalent to the National Resilience Institute in Indonesia.
During his education, Achmad Fikri and other participants studied various fields, including national security, geopolitics, geostrategy, international relations, and national resource management.
Participants also received training on the policy formulation process and strategic decision-making in facing increasingly complex security challenges.
In addition to completing his studies at RJNDC, Achmad Fikri was among a group of participants enrolled in a master's program. Of the 146 participants, only about 70 took the academic program and were eligible to receive a Master's in Management and Strategic Studies degree.
He also successfully obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in National Resource Management and Military Sciences.
It is hoped that this success will provide Achmad Fikri with the necessary skills to apply the knowledge he has gained to support the development of the Indonesian Army organization.
The Indonesian Army also hopes that this achievement will further strengthen relations between Indonesia and Jordan, particularly in cooperation in the fields of education and the military.
The RJNDC education period lasts for one year, from June 29, 2025 to June 15, 2026.
In that academic year, RJNDC was attended by 146 participants consisting of 76 participants from Jordan and 70 international participants from 13 friendly countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Indonesia, Bahrain, Morocco, Pakistan, United States, Germany, Nigeria, and Tanzania.
