Message from the German Ambassador

Message from the German Ambassador

Every year on the 3rd of October Germans commemorate and celebrate the peaceful reunification of their country that took place in 1990 and brought about democracy and the rule of law to all Germans.

I arrived as the designated Ambassador of Germany to Indonesia just in time to witness the second round of the presidential election.

At the end of a long election marathon, this round of voting crowned what was an extraordinary democratic achievement, not only for Indonesia but for the concept of democracy as a whole.

Celebrating a national day abroad also means celebrating bilaterally. Germany and Indonesia have solid and traditionally close links. Let us strive to build upon those to further develop our political, economic and cultural relations for the benefit of our peoples and also our neighbors and friends.
