KUALA LUMPUR: Outgoing Indonesian ambassador Hermono says a 2022 memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the placement and protection of Indonesian domestic workers stands as the proudest achievement of his five-year tenure as his country’s top official in Malaysia.
Hermono, who will complete his posting and return to Jakarta at the end of this month, said the MoU represented a major breakthrough in bilateral cooperation and a personal milestone in his four decades of diplomatic service.
“That is the achievement I am most proud of – for myself and for my team – because it took a great deal of effort and negotiation before we could finally conclude the MoU,” he said during a gathering with the media here.
