Apostolic Nunciature to Indonesia

The Apostolic Nunciature to Indonesia is a diplomatic position within the Vatican, equivalent to an embassy. It is located at Jalan Merdeka Timur 18, Jakarta-Pusat.

The Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy See to the Republic of Indonesia serves both as the ambassador of the Pope (as head of State of Vatican City) to the President of Indonesia, and as delegate and point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Indonesia and the Pope (as head of the church).[1]
