The History of Indonesian Embassy in Bern

 

In 1952, the Indonesian Embassy in Bern was formally established and it was also accredited for the Indonesian Mission for the United Nations and General Agreement of Trade and Tariffs (GATT) in Geneva. Since 1954 until 1965, the Indonesian Embassy in Bern is accredited for the Indonesian representation in Vatican, and from 1957 until 1967 the Embassy was accredited for Indonesian representation for Spain.

In 1967 the Indonesian Mission to the United Nations in Geneva was established thus the Indonesian Embassy in Bern was formally separated and its function is only for bilateral relations between Indonesia and Switzerland. In the beginning, the Indonesian Embassy had its office in Hotel Bellevue Bern. A few months later the Embassy rent a building in Wiladingweg 10, Bern. In 1956 the Embassy moved to Elfenstrasse 9, and in 1972 the Embassy bought a building in Elfenauweg 51 which is now the office of the Indonesian Embassy to Switzerland and since 1998, the Embassy is accredited to Liechtenstein.
