September 16, 2021 Farewell of the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Ambassadors of Asian countries accredited to the Slovak Republic

2021/12/8
   On September 16, I attended a farewell to the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Slovak Republic.
Since her assignment as Ambassador in 2017, H.E. Ms. Adiyatwidi Adiwoso Asmady, has played an important role as the coordinator of the six Asian Ambassadors.
   There are a total of 46 Embassies in Slovakia, but these six "Asian countries" are in charge of the Asia-Pacific Department of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam). For comparison, the number of Embassies of EU member states in the Slovak Republic is 18, Embassies of European states that are not members of the EU are 12. Therefore, embassies of "Asian countries" are minority compared to European ones. It is therefore largely thanks to the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Slovak Republic, H.E. Ms. Adiyatwidi Adiwoso Asmady, that we are able to demonstrate our unique presence of "Asian countries" in Slovakia through events such as "Asian Weekend".
