I Gede Ngurah Swajaya is a senior Government official in the Republic of Indonesia, and he has held several prestigious and important roles during his long and illustrious career for the Government of Indonesia.

Bapak Ngurah has been involved in extensive interaction with the key policy makers and people of ASEAN countries and he will enter the history books as the first ever Indonesian Ambassador to ASEAN in 2010. Apart from this, he has held many key roles including Director for ASEAN Political Security Cooperation and Chairperson of the ASEAN Connectivity Coordinating Committee.

Bapak Ngurah was the Ambassador Extraordinary to the Republic of Singapore from 2016 till 2020, and has recently moved back to Indonesia to take up the role of Director General at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he is responsible for relationships between Indonesia, the Americas and Europe.

Bapak Ngurah hails from Bali, the delightful and magical Island of the Gods, and we hope we can persuade him to join us for a weekend retreat for all customers and management of ASEAN Business Partners on his home island one day.
