In this episode of SPF World Views, we spoke with Yenny Wahid, a social entrepreneur, political activist, and former journalist who currently serves as the director of the Wahid Foundation in Indonesia. Her roots in politics go back generations, including her father who served as the fourth president of Indonesia.
While in Tokyo for the first Asia Statesperson's Forum, organized by SPF’s Asia and Middle East Program, Ms. Wahid joined SPF World Views for a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges facing ASEAN and Indonesia, her work at the Wahid Foundation focusing on women’s empowerment, as well as her thoughts on the future of her political career.

2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Türkiye. These two countries, though geographically distant, have historically shared a close relationship. The Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), as part of its projects focusing on countries in the Middle East, has sought to deepen these ties, building networks to connect the people of Türkiye and Japan. As part of these efforts, the foundation’s Asia and Middle East Program welcomed a delegation of young diplomats from Türkiye to experience Japan first-hand, including our guest, Dilara Tütüncüoğlu, Second Secretary at the Turkish Embassy in Tokyo.
In this episode, Ms. Tütüncüoğlu reflects on the impact of the delegation's visit to Japan and shares her thoughts about the future of Japan-Türkiye relations from her perspective as someone at the beginning of their diplomatic career.

Welcome to SPF World Views, a new podcast featuring in-depth discussions with our experts here in Japan as well as our partners around the world. Before diving into these conversations, we thought it best to take a moment to reflect on who are at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) and how we fit into this global conversation. Who better to explain than Dr. Atsushi Sunami, president of SPF. He joins us for the inaugural episode of SPF World Views to consider the foundation's role in contending with increasing divisions around the world and outline his vision for the type of innovation he would like to see at SPF.
