He continued his studies in Japan, where he pursued his master's studies in international affairs at the International University of Japan from 1992 to 1994.[2]
Diplomatic career
[edit]Ade's career in public service began in March 1989 shortly after obtaining his undergraduate degree. From 1990 to 1992, he served as a staff in the Directorate of Diplomatic Facilities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. His career progressed significantly after he completed his master's degree. From 1994 to 1995, he held the position of chief of regional cooperation within the Asia and Pacific Directorate. Subsequently, from August 1995 to April 1999, he was appointed as third secretary, and later second secretary at the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Pretoria, South Africa.[2]
Upon his return to Indonesia in 1999, he became the chief of humanitarian issues in the Directorate of International Organizations, a role he held until 2001. From 2001 to 2005, Ade served as second secretary, and later first secretary, at the Permanent Mission of Indonesia to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva. He then transitioned to the role of deputy director for ASEAN Political Cooperation in the Directorate General of ASEAN Cooperation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, from 2005 to 2008. From 2008 to 2012, he held the position of Director for ASEAN Political and Security Cooperation within the same ministry.[2] In 2011, Ade organized a disaster preparedness exercise in North Sulawesi following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on the same year.[1]
In 2012, Ade was entrusted with the role of consul in Darwin, a position he held until 2014. He continued his diplomatic service in Australia for the next three years, serving as consul general in Perth from 2014 to 2017.[2] After a brief two-month period as a high ranking employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon his return to Indonesia,[2] in October 2017 Ade was nominated by President Joko Widodo as ambassador to ASEAN.[3] Upon passing an assessment by the House of Representatives, on 20 February 2018 he was installed as ambassador.[4] He presented his credentials to ASEAN Secretary General Lim Jock Hoi on 2 April that year.[5]
