The laying of the first stone for the construction of the building was carried out by President Joko Widodo and President Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ), who at that time was still the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the PEA Armed Forces, on January 12, 2020.

The design of the new building is the result of collaboration from the Indonesian Embassy team and local consultants who were then chosen by President Joko Widodo directly.
