The Embassy of Indonesia in Islamabad (Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia di Islamabad), abbreviated as KBRI Islamabad, is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The embassy represents Indonesia's interests in Pakistan and is responsible for diplomatic relations, political engagement, economic cooperation, consular services and cultural relations between the two countries.

The first Indonesian ambassador to Pakistan was Raden Sjamsoeddin, who assumed office in 1950. The current ambassador is Chandra Warsenanto Sukotjo, who was appointed by President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto on 24 March 2025.[1][2]

History

Indonesia and Pakistan established diplomatic relations in 1949, shortly after Indonesia gained independence.[3] The Indonesian diplomatic mission in Pakistan was initially established in Karachi, which served as Pakistan's capital until 1959. Following the relocation of Pakistan's capital to Islamabad, Indonesia moved its embassy to the new capital.[4][5][6]

The embassy has since played a role in strengthening bilateral relations between Indonesia and Pakistan through political dialogue, economic cooperation, cultural exchanges and cooperation in international organisations.[7][8]

In addition to the embassy in Islamabad, Indonesia maintains a Consulate-General in Karachi to provide consular and diplomatic services in Pakistan.[9][10]
