Career

[edit]

Soemirat joined the diplomatic service in March 2000. His initial assignment was at the Directorate of International Security and Disarmament.[2] He then served at Indonesia's permanent mission to the UN in New York as third secretary[3] and later first secretary.[4] During the 2008 membership of Indonesia in the UN's security council, Soemirat was appointed as alternate representative of Indonesia on the security council.[5]

In 2012, he was investigated by the Corruption Eradication Commission as a witness in a corruption case involving foreign ministry secretary general Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat.[6] Soemirat's diplomatic service continued with him being the Indonesian lead negotiator for the adoption of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2015.[7][8] He later served as counsellor for political affairs at Indonesia's permanent mission to the UN.[9][10]

On 6 October 2020, Soemirat assumed office as the Director for International Security and Disarmament Affairs.[11] During his tenure, he coordinated with Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency for the United Nations Commission on Narcotic and Drugs's session in April 2021.[12] He was transferred to the ASEAN directorate general in 2022, where he became the director for ASEAN political and security cooperation.[13] During Indonesia's chairmanship of the G20, Soemirat became the chair of the Anti-Corruption Working Group alongside with Mochamad Hadiyana from the Corruption Eradication Commission.[14]

On 16 May 2024, Soemirat became the chief of strategic support bureau to foreign minister Retno Marsudi.[15] He was later designated as the foreign ministry's second spokesperson,[16] serving alongside the main spokesperson Muhammad Iqbal.[17]

In August 2024, President Joko Widodo nominated Soemirat as Indonesia's ambassador to Iran, with concurrent accreditation to Turkmenistan. He passed a fit and proper test held by the House of Representative's first commission in September that year.[18] He was installed by President Prabowo Subianto on 24 March 2025.[19] Following the Iran–Israel war, Soemirat directly coordinated the foreign ministry's efforts in evacuating Indonesian citizens. A total of 97 citizens were transported to the Azerbaijan–Iran border town of Astara before being flown to Baku.[20][21][22][23]
