Ambassador Tikoca Attends Indonesia Gastrodiplomacy Series 2026 in Makassar

Organised by Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the Makassar City Government, the programme brought together Ambassadors and Heads of Mission accredited to Indonesia to explore opportunities in trade, tourism, investment, culture and culinary diplomacy.

Throughout the three-day programme, Ambassador Tikoca participated in strategic discussions with local government leaders, business representatives and industry stakeholders, gaining valuable insights into Makassar's growing role as a centre for fisheries, agriculture, tourism and regional investment.

Against the backdrop of Makassar's iconic Pinisi vessel, Ambassador Ratu Isoa Delamisi Tikoca and Madam Adi Vaciseva Tikoca reflect Fiji's commitment to strengthening people-to-people connections and expanding cooperation.

One of the highlights of the programme was the Ambassador's engagement with Indonesian palm sugar producers, where discussions explored opportunities in agricultural diversification, value-added food products and sustainable farming practices that may provide useful lessons for Fiji's agricultural sector and broader food security efforts.

The programme also demonstrated how Indonesia successfully uses its rich culinary heritage to promote tourism, strengthen local industries and attract investment. These experiences provide valuable ideas that Fiji can adapt to further promote its own cuisine, culture and local products as part of tourism and economic development.

Ambassador Tikoca's participation also created new opportunities to strengthen relationships with regional government authorities and business leaders in South Sulawesi, opening avenues for future cooperation in agriculture, fisheries, food processing, tourism, SME development and cultural diplomacy.
