The Embassy of Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur is the diplomatic mission of Indonesia in Malaysia.

Established after the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, the embassy serves large amounts of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. Other Indonesian diplomatic establishments in Malaysia included four consulate-generals and a consulate.[1]

History

Following the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, relationship between the two countries were normalized in 11 August 1966 with the signing of the Jakarta Accords. As a consequence, on September 1967 the Indonesian government established a liaison office in Kuala Lumpur. Initially, the embassy was located in U-Thant Road, but it was relocated to an 8-storey building at Tun Razak road, its present location, in 1977.[2]

The embassy has been a site for demonstrations, including ones related to haze and arrests of Malaysian fishermen.[3][4]

Services

Aside from routine services, the embassy also has dedicated shelters for Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia who encountered difficulties.[5] It also works with the Malaysian government to register otherwise illegal migrant workers.[6] In 2017, under ambassador Rusdi Kirana, the embassy began offering 24-hour services.[7]
