Vice Presidential Palace (Indonesia)
The Vice Presidential Palace (Indonesian: Istana Wakil Presiden) is one of the official residences of the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. Located in Jakarta, it serves as both a working office and a residence for the Vice President. While the President of Indonesia primarily uses the Merdeka Palace, the Vice Presidential Palace is crucial for the daily operations and official duties of the Vice President.
The palace complex typically includes offices for the Vice President's staff, meeting rooms for official discussions, and private living quarters. It is distinct from the State Palace, which is the primary official residence and workplace of the President. Security measures are generally very high at the Vice Presidential Palace, reflecting the importance of the office it houses.
The location and specific configuration of the Vice Presidential Palace may vary over time depending on the sitting Vice President's preferences and administrative decisions. Throughout Indonesia's history, different buildings have served as the official Vice Presidential residence.
