Around the world: UK appoints 1st honorary consul in Surabaya

ritish Ambassador to Indonesia Moazzam Malik has appointed Surabaya-based businesswoman Ivy Kamadjaja as the United Kingdom’s honorary consul in Surabaya.

She was chosen for the post because of her vast business network not only in East Java province but also at the national level.

Malik said Ivy’s business network was strategic in her appointment as the honorary consul in Indonesia’s second-largest city, after a meeting with Surabaya Mayo Tri “Risma” Rismaharini on Wednesday.

He added that the main objective of the appointment was to represent the UK in Surabaya, especially in the political and business sectors.

The honorary consul is expected to assist the UK in identifying economic opportunities in Surabaya and East Java. Risma welcomed the appointment especially as the city will be cooperating with UK city Liverpool to provide English training for Surabaya’s school teachers.
