Short History of the Consulate General of Indonesia in Houston

The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Houston was officially opened and inaugurated on May 25, 1982 by the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia Mr. D. Ashari. Its first Consul General was Mr. Rachadi Iskandar from the period of 1982-1985.

Its jurisdiction and responsibilities encompass 10 states, namely: Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Lousiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and two United States self-governing commonwealths, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

From its earliest establishment until March 1988, the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Houston resided at nineteenth floor of Three Post Oak Central, 1990 Post Oak Boulevard and in April 1988, it relocated to 5633 Richmond Avenue.

Mindful to the fact that sufficient and representative building was required to serve public interests, in 1993, Consul General Achmad Surjadi, with the approval from the Department of Foreign Affairs Jakarta, purchased a property building located in 10900 Richmond Avenue which hitherto serves as the permanent establishment of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia which was officially inaugurated by the Minister for the Foreign Affairs Ali Alatas in 1993.

The current Indonesian Consul General office is strategic in size and location and has two exhibition rooms for culture and economics section displaying all the unique Indonesian products as well as equipped with outdoor sport facilities such as tennis and basketball.
