On Tuesday, November 19, at the Teatr im. Juliusz Słowacki held the ceremonial opening of the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia in Krakow, which was made by the ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia H.E. Siti Nugraha Mauludiah. Marian Skrzypiec was appointed the first honorary consul.
Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, senators and deputies, authorities of the city of Krakow and the Lesser Poland Voivodship, diplomats, personalities of culture and science, as well as representatives of the business world were invited to the ceremony. The newly established consulate will serve to strengthen political, economic, cultural, educational and tourist cooperation between the two countries that have maintained diplomatic relations since 1955.
I would like it to be a more active office. We really care about associating businesses, interpersonal relations, education, because there are a lot of students in Kraków and Toruń – Marian Zbigniew Skrzypiec, consul.
The Republic of Indonesia consists of over 300,000 islands, between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is the 4th most populous country in the world with 267 million inhabitants. Despite 11 thousand kilometers separating Poland and Indonesia, we have a little in common. Indonesia is a country with a rapidly growing economy. It is also an increasingly attractive place for Polish tourists.
„Some of my friends visited Krakow even before other cities, such as Warsaw or Gdansk. There are many Indonesians here, both as tourists and also as students. We have quite a lot of students here. They also learn Polish and receive diplomas from Polish universities. ” – Siti Nugraha Mauludiah, Ambassador of Indonesia.
