JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – Fientje Maritje Suebu was officially inaugurated by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia (LBBP RI) to New Zealand and also Samoa, Kingdom of Tonga, Cook Islands and Niue.
He was inaugurated along with two other ambassadors at the State Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday (12/1/2022).

The inauguration of Fientje as Ambassador of New Zealand is certainly inseparable from his career.

Fientje studied at the Foreign Service School. After graduating, he was recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and moved to Jakarta.
