History

Diplomatic relations between Indonesia and South Africa were established on 12 August 1994 with the signing of a communique by the respective permanent representatives to the United Nations. Prior to this, Indonesia had opened a liaison office (the Liaison Office of the Republic of Indonesia) in Pretoria on 10 February 1994. With the signing of the communique in August 1994, the status of the liaison office changed to embassy status. Rahadi Iskandar, as the first Indonesian ambassador to South Africa, presented his credentials to President Nelson Mandela on 23 May 1995.[6]
