He then continued his studies to Australia, where he received his master's degree in foreign affairs and trade from the Monash University in 2000.[1]

Career

Andhika joined the foreign ministry in March 1997.[2] During his tour of duty in the foreign ministry, Andhika served in the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations in Vienna as third secretary[3] and was later promoted to second secretary.[4] He assumed a number of positions in the foreign ministry, including as head of the subdirectorate for transnational organized crime[5] and for political and security treaties.[6] He was nominated as the director political, security, and regional treaties in the ministry in 2016, but was unsuccessful.[7]

In April 2017, Andhika was transferred to the National Counter Terrorism Agency as the director for regional and multilateral cooperation, with responsibilities on strengthening regional and multilateral cooperation. He attended the 2018 Globsec security forum, and was involved in investigating the networks of the Surabaya bombings[8]

Two years after serving as director, on 19 July 2019 Andhika was promoted to become the agency's deputy for international cooperation, replacing Hamidin who was transferred to South Sulawesi as the province's police chief.[9]

In August 2024 Andhika was nominated by President Joko Widodo as ambassador to Papua New Guinea.[10] However, he was never summoned for a fit and proper test by the House of Representatives for the office.[11] After Joko Widodo was replaced by Prabowo Subianto, Andhika was nominated for ambassador to Brazil in July 2025.[12] His nomination was approved by the House of Representatives in a session on 8 July 2025.[13] He was installed on 25 August 2025.[14]
