... that diplomatic relations between Barbados and Indonesia were initiated by ambassador Priyo Iswanto with the help of Canada's high commissioner to Barbados?

Overall: @Jeromi Mikhael: The articles look good, nice work. Do you think you could paste a relevant quote from the book verifying the hook, since I am unable to read it myself? (I think there's a rule now against "AGF" approving hooks.) Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:50, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
@BeanieFan11: I intentionally did not put the quote since the entire story is quite long. But since you've requested it here's the quote:
"Saya bertugas di Bogota, Kolombia dan mendapatkan tugas untuk melakukan pendekatan kepada Pemerintah Barbados...Duta Besar Marie Legault keluar dari restaurant dan langsung menyapa 'Ambassador, saya sudah mendapat tanggapan dari Perdana Menteri lewat email tadi malam dan disarankan agar kamu menghubungi Menteri Luar Negeri Jeremy Walcott'. Dia pun langsung memberikan nomor kontak pribadi Menlu Jeremy Walcott. Saya melihat peluang untuk membuka hubungan diplomatik antara Indonesia dan Barbados yang akan bermanfaat untuk memajukan kepentingan Indonesia di Barbados dan kawasan Karibia secara keseluruhan...Selang satu minggu, tanggal 18 April 2019, Menlu Jeremy Walcott kembali menulis kepada saya melalui whatsapp 'Excellency Mr. Ambassador, Cabinet approval was obtained last Thursday and now the process will commence – Yang Mulia Pak Dubes, Kabinet telah menyetujui untuk membuka hubungan diplomatik dan prosesnya akan segera dimulai'. Berbekal pesan dari Menlu Jeremy Walcott, saya menyampaikan berita ke Pusat dengan tembusan ke PTRI New York agar hasil komunikasi dengan Menlu Barbados segera mendapatkan tanggapan positif dengan pertimbangan untuk memajukan kepentingan Indonesia yang lebih besar di kawasan Karibia. Akhirnya Pemerintah Indonesia, yang diwakili oleh Duta Besar Dian Triansyah Djani dan Pemerintah Barbados yang diwakili oleh Duta Besar H. Elizabeth Thompson menandatangani Komunike Bersama melalui Perwakilan masing-masing di New York pada tanggal 26 Juni 2019."
which translates to
"I was assigned to Bogota, Colombia and was tasked with approaching the Government of Barbados...Ambassador Marie Legault came out of the restaurant and immediately greeted 'Ambassador, I have received a response from the Prime Minister via email last night and it is recommended that you contact Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeremy Walcott'. She immediately gave me the personal contact number of Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeremy Walcott. I see an opportunity to open diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Barbados which will be beneficial to advance Indonesia's interests in Barbados and the Caribbean region as a whole... One week later, on April 18, 2019, Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeremy Walcott wrote to me again via WhatsApp 'Excellency Mr. Ambassador, Cabinet approval was obtained last Thursday and now the process will commence - Your Excellency Mr. Ambassador, the Cabinet has agreed to open diplomatic relations and the process will begin immediately'. Armed with a message from Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeremy Walcott, I conveyed the news to the Center with a copy to the Indonesian Permanent Representative in New York so that the results of the communication with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Barbados immediately received a positive response with the consideration of advancing Indonesia's greater interests in the Caribbean region. Finally, the Government of Indonesia, represented by Ambassador Dian Triansyah Djani and the Government of Barbados, represented by Ambassador H. Elizabeth Thompson, signed a Joint Communiqué through their respective Representatives in New York on June 26, 2019." Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 02:19, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
Hmm... maybe we can just leave it to the promoter to chose which hook to use. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
@BeanieFan11: I have no objection on that - yours seem better but I'm concerned about the WhatsApp diplomacy term since it's coined by Priyo himself?? Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 00:23, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
