Abdulrahman Saleh, Indonesia’s former attorney general, was on Tuesday 8 April sworn in by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as the Indonesian ambassador to Denmark and Lithuania.
Abdulrahman, who was replaced as the attorney general to rejuvenate the prosecutors’ corps, joked following his inauguration, “I have been proposed to be in this post since the age of Adam.”
He said he expected to increase trade cooperation with Denmark, with whom Indonesia has always enjoyed a surplus.
Abdul Rahman Saleh is born 1 April 1941 in Pekalongan and graduated from Gadjah Mada University.
The nomination of Abdulrahman Saleh and fourteen other new ambassadors were approved by the House of Representatives four months ago.
