Biography
Born on 5 January 1965, Listyowati joined the foreign department in March 1991. In 2012, she was appointed as the director for South and Central Asia within the foreign ministry.[1][2] She advocated for a "integrated and aggressive" approach on Indonesia's trade promotion in Central Asia and offered wood furnitures to be marketed in the region.[3] After an approximately two-year term, she was re-appointed to the position on 10 January 2014.[4]
In 2017, Listyowati assumed duties as the deputy chief of mission at the embassy in Beijing. On 1 December 2017, ambassador Sugeng Rahardjo ended his term and she became the chargé d'affaires ad interim.[5] She oversaw the appointment of embassy officials as members of the overseas election committee in preparation for the 2019 general election.[6] She served as chargé d'affaires ad interim until the arrival of the new ambassador Djauhari Oratmangun on 23 April 2018[7] and continued to serve as deputy chief of mission until 16 January 2020.[8] One of the cases that Listyowati actively handled is mail-order brides, which has increased significantly during her posting there.[9] The embassy, which repatriated 40 Indonesian women in 2019, had to convert part of its building into a shelter due to the high number of cases.[10]
Upon her return, Listyowati became the supervisor of the foreign ministry's Center for American and European Regional Policy Strategy (Pusat Strategi Kebijakan Kawasan Amerika dan Eropa, Pusat SKK Amerop). During her tenure, she authored a tourism booklet in collaboration with University of Indonesia's School of Strategic Studies.[11]
On 29 May 2023, Listyowati became the consul general in Chicago.[12] On 8 January 2025, the consulate general became the place of the first remote civil witness examination conducted by a court. The witness testified from the consulate general, while the trial was held at the Slawi district court, which has a 13-hour difference.[13] About three weeks later, on 31 January Listyowati ended her tenure as consul general.[14]
Listyowati was nominated for ambassador to Bangladesh and Nepal by President Prabowo Subianto in July 2025.[15] His nomination was approved by the House of Representatives in a session on 8 July 2025.[16]
