Mr. Vincenzo Sandalj is appointed as Honorary Consul General for Regione Veneto and Regione Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. Mr. Sandalj is CEO of Sandalj Company, which has established business relations with Indonesia for more than 30 years and one of the biggest coffee importer in Italy. He is also President of Association of Trieste Coffee.

Roma – Konsul Kehormatan RI diharapkan aktif mengidentifikasi dan melaporkan secara berkala kepada KBRI setiap potensi peningkatan kerjasama bilateral RI-Italia di wilayah kerjanya, terutama dalam bidang perdagangan, investasi dan pariwisata.

Hal itu disampaikan Dubes RI untuk Italia Mohamad Oemar pada upacara pelantikan Vicenzo Sandalj sebagai Konsul Kehormatan (Konhor) RI di Trieste, dengan wilayah kerja meliputi Regione Friuli-Venezia-Giulia dan Veneto.

Dubes Oemar menekankan betapa penting tugas konhor sebagai wakil Pemerintah RI dalam membantu memperluas jaringan kerja terkait dengan perlindungan kepada warga negara dan badan hukum Indonesia selain tugas-tugas promosi.

Indonesian Government trusts Mr. Vincenzo Sandalj as Honorary Consul to strengthen Indonesia-Italy relations and to become "opportunity seeker" in terms of trade, tourism, and investment for Indonesia. He will also responsible in protection of Indonesian citizens and legal entities, in regard to large number of Indonesians live in northern Italy

“Tugas Konhor di Trieste semakin penting mengingat warga Indonesia di Italia sebagian besar tinggal di wilayah utara, termasuk Friuli-Venezia-Giulia dan Veneto,” tegas Oemar melalui Konselor Pensosbud Musurifun Lajawa kepada detikfinance, Kamis (8/4/2010).

Vicenzo Sandalj, Pendiri dan Direktur Utama Sandalj Company, adalah  salah satu pengimpor kopi terbesar di Italia. Sandalij, yang juga Presiden Asosiasi Kopi Trieste, telah melakukan hubungan bisnis dengan Indonesia sejak 30 tahun lalu.

Pelantikan yang berlangsung di Wisma Indonesia itu dihadiri oleh Deputi Dirjen Kemlu Italia bidang Asia Pasifik, Oseania dan Antartika, Dubes RI untuk Vatikan, para Konhor RI di Italia, para pengurus Indonesia-Italia Friendship Association, Perwakilan Garuda Indonesia dan para pejabat KBRI Roma.

Mr. Sandalj promises Ambassador Oemar that Honorary Consulate in Trieste will be the centre of information about Indonesia. The Consulate is the connecting bridge between Indonesian Government and local authority. He also stated that a library about Indonesia will be opened soon.

Sebelumnya, pada kunjungan Dubes Oemar ke kantor Konsulat Kehormatan RI di Trieste, Sandalj sempat menyampaikan bahwa kantor tersebut akan menjadi pusat informasi tentang Indonesia di Trieste, kawasan Friuli Venezia Giulia dan kawasan Veneto serta sebagai penghubung antara pemerintah Indonesia dengan otoritas setempat.

“Dalam waktu dekat kantor Konsulat Kehormatan RI ini juga akan membuka perpustakaan mengenai Indonesia untuk lebih mengenalkan Indonesia kepada publik Trieste,” jelas Sandalj.

Konhor RI untuk Trieste sebelumnya adalah Mastrovalerio, yang telah meninggal dunia di tahun 2000. Pelantikan Sandalj ini akhirnya mengisi posisi Konhor yang telah lama kosong.

Menguntungkan

Menyinggung hubungan bilateral, Dubes Oemar mengatakan bahwa hubungan baik antara Indonesia dan Italia, yang telah terjalin baik selama ini, perlu diterjemahkan ke dalam kerjasama lebih konkrit, yang menguntungkan rakyat kedua negara.

Dalam hal ini, lanjut Oemar, MoU mengenai Konsultasi Bilateral yang ditandatangani Menlu RI Hassan Wirajuda dan mitranya Franco Frattini pada Maret 2009 dapat dijadikan sebagai sarana untuk mendorong peningkatan hubungan bilateral kedua negara.

Wilayah kerja Konhor Vicenzo Sandalj yakni Friuli-Venezia-Giulia dan Veneto, terkenal sebagai pusat industri dan perdagangan serta pariwisata di wilayah utara Italia. Trieste yang terletak di persimpangan kawasan Eropa Barat dan Balkan, merupakan satu-satunya kota yang memiliki pelabuhan bebas di Italia. Pelabuhan Trieste dan Monfalcone, yang menjadi penghubung terdekat antara Eropa Tengah dan Asia Tenggara, berpotensi besar untuk mendorong peningkatan hubungan perdagangan antara Indonesia dan Italia serta dengan negara-negara di kawasan sekitarnya. Kedua pelabuhan itu sedang dalam tahap pengembangan sebagai pusat pelayanan jasa  peti kemas dan jasa pelayaran di kawasan Laut Adriatik.

Dear Readers,

I have a great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Rome. I do hope that these pages could serve as a bridge between the people of Indonesia and the people of Italy, Malta and Cyprus who need information about political and economic, cultural, and tourism affairs, as well as information on immigration and consular services for citizens of Italy, Cyprus and Malta, as well as for Indonesian citizens.

For a brief yet detailed accounts of Indonesia’s recent social, political, and economic developments, you may retrieve a presentation entitled “Indonesia at a Glance” that I have delivered recently across Italy, together with the presentation’s explanatory notes. These documents give an overview of the current and potential enhancement of the bilateral relationship between Italy and Indonesia.

The Embassy invites you to post your questions, inquiries, comments, and message through this website if. We will do our best to respond to your questions.

Priyo Iswanto

Gen.mi/Egr. Sigg./Sig.ri,

Le richieste di informazioni sull’Indonesia e il desiderio di conoscere l’Indonesia, tramite l’ambasciata d’Indonesia, delle comunità locali dove siamo accreditati (ovvero la Repubblica d’Italia, la Repubblica di Malta e la Repubblica di Cipro) sono in continuo aumento.

Nel frattempo anche le richieste di informazioni e la curiosità della comunità indonesiana di conoscere i paesi dove siamo accreditati e le organizzazioni internazionali (FAO, WFP ed IFAD) sono in aumento.   L’ambasciata di Indonesia a Roma ha cercato di divulgare importanti informazioni riguardanti l’Indonesia e di soddisfare le richieste ricevute sia con comunicazioni verbali che inviando materiale informativo.

L’aumento delle richieste di informazioni sull’Indonesia una conseguenza logica dell’ incremento dell’ importanza delle relazioni bilaterali tra i nostri 2 (due) paesi in quasi tutti i settori, come ad esempio nella politica, nell’economia e commercio, nell’agricoltura, nel sociale, nella cultura, nell’educazione, nel turismo, ecc. Nell’intento di soddisfare meglio le richieste di informazioni e per rafforzare i rapporti fra le nostre due nazione in tutti i settori, l’ambasciata ha creato un sito web arricchendo così mezzi di comunicazione.  Spero che questo sito web possa, non solo fornire le informazioni richieste, ma anche servire come strumento utile per creare un clima migliore nei rapporti d’amicizia tra di noi.
