Indonesia plans to open representative offices in Bahrain, Oman, Africa, Balkan and Latin America, a local newspaper said Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said that Indonesia will open representative offices in Bahrain and Oman very soon in an effort to protect Indonesian citizens, mainly migrant workers.
"We have tens of thousands Indonesian migrant workers there. Wealso plan to open one in Mozambique and in several other countries in West Africa, which has been developing quickly in recent years," he was quoted by the Jakarta Post as saying.
Neither Bahrain nor Oman have embassies in Jakarta.
The Indonesian Embassy in Zimbabwe currently covers Mozambique, which has had a full-pledged embassy in Jakarta for several years.
Countries such as Azerbaijan, Panama and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which opened embassies in Jakarta in recent years, have been looking for reciprocation from the Indonesian government.
