Musthafa Habiebie Idrus was born and raised in Egypt, in a neighborhood surrounded by embassies and international institutions. From an early age, he noticed how nations connected not only through policies but also through people, their gestures, conversations, and shared values. Those quiet observations sparked a lasting curiosity about diplomacy, cooperation, and the pursuit of peace.
Although his academic background is in economics and accounting, his interests have always gone beyond numbers. He is drawn to the human side of international relations such as how trust is built, how conflicts find resolution, and how peace can take root when cultures choose cooperation over division.
Outside his studies, Musthafa turns to cinema, books, and research as ways to explore new perspectives. Films allow him to step into stories beyond his own, while reading deepens his understanding of ideas, histories, and the forces that shape the world. Alongside these, his quiet habit of observing people and everyday interactions has sharpened his empathy and his belief that small human moments often carry larger truths.
He is now preparing to pursue a master’s degree in Japan on a full scholarship, specializing in international relations and peace studies. Looking ahead, Musthafa hopes to contribute to global peace efforts through roles in international organizations, embassies, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Whether through diplomacy, humanitarian cooperation, or policy work, his goal is simple, it is to help build bridges where they are needed most.
