Brazilian envoy moving to Manila

JAKARTA: Brazilian Ambassador to Indonesia Carlos Eduardo Sette will be leaving Jakarta soon after serving here for almost three years, a source close to the Brazilian Embassy in Jakarta said.

Ambassador Sette, who submitted his credentials to then president Megawati Soekarnoputri on Nov. 8, 2002, is one of the most popular as well as jovial diplomats in town.

When The Jakarta Post contacted him about leaving Indonesia, Sette confirmed the news.

"Yes, my family and I will be leaving Indonesia soon. I think some time in September. I will be moving to Manila as the Brazilian Ambassador to the Philippines," Sette said. -- JP
