The installation was followed up with his swearing-in by President Jokowi.

“In the name of Allah, I do swear that I, to be installed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, directly or indirectly, by any reason whatsoever, will not give anything to anyone. That I will not receive any gifts, directly or indirectly, from anyone. That I will fulfill faithfully all orders and instructions given by the central government and I will fulfill all other obligations imposed on Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary.” That was the oath sworn by Chozin Chumaidy.
