JAKARTA: Indonesia is poised to appoint a US-educated technocrat as its ambassador to Washington, ending a prolonged vacancy in a key diplomatic post at a time when the nation is recalibrating trade and business ties with the world’s largest economy.
Lawmakers in Jakarta have approved Dwisuryo Indroyono Soesilo (pic) as envoy to the US following a closed-door vetting process, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Adies Kadir told Bloomberg News. Soesilo, 70, is a former cabinet minister as well as a geologist and veteran marine governance expert.
