The EU Delegation to Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam was established in Jakarta on 6 September 1988. It is one of over 140 diplomatic missions that represent the EU around the world.

The EU Delegation’s role is to promote EU polices and to build closer ties with Indonesia and Brunei.

Indonesia is the first ASEAN country to have concluded a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with the EU, which governs our overall relation and cooperation. The PCA – signed in 2009 and in force since 2014 – encompasses dialogues in various areas: Political Dialogue, Security Dialogue, Human Rights Dialogue, Trade and Investment, Development Cooperation, Environment and Climate Change, as well as Fisheries and Maritime Affairs.

We work closely with the embassies of the EU Member States. The EU Delegation coordinates the EU local consultation mechanism in Indonesia, at the level of ambassadors and of advisors covering political, commercial, consular and other fields. It represents the EU in all matters governed by EU policies and adopted positions.

The EU Delegation has full diplomatic privileges and immunities with the Head of Delegation accorded full ambassadorial status.

The work of the EU Delegation is supported by different functional sectors:

• Political
• Press and Information
• Trade and Economic
• Cooperation
• Finance, Contracts and Audit
• Administration

Based in Jakarta, our premises also accommodate the EU Delegation to ASEAN and the European Investment Bank (EIB) Regional Representation for Southeast Asia and the Pacific. We represent the EU in Brunei on a non-residential basis.
