Overview
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Bern serves as Indonesia's diplomatic mission in Switzerland. Switzerland and Indonesia maintain strong bilateral relations in trade, investment, and development cooperation — Switzerland is a significant investor in Indonesia's pharmaceutical, food, and commodities sectors through companies like Nestlé, Novartis, and Glencore. The embassy handles visa applications, consular services, and trade facilitation. Indonesia is a popular long-haul destination for Swiss travellers, with Bali and Java well-connected via Zurich through Middle Eastern and Asian hubs.
