Gina Yoginda (born 2 May 1963) is an Indonesian military officer who is currently nominated as ambassador of Indonesia to North Korea.

Career

Born on 2 May 1963,[1] Gina graduated from the Indonesian Military Academy in 1986, where he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the cavalry corps.[1] He holds a bachelor's degree in public administration from the Indonesian Open University[2] and a master's degree in total war strategy from the Indonesian Defence University.[3]

He served as the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion in Semarang from 2002 to 2003[4] and as the commander of the Semarang military district on 6 November 2003, both with the rank of lieutenant colonel.[5] By the 2010s, he had already reached the rank of colonel and was assigned to the Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law, and Security as chief of ASEAN regional cooperation section[6] and to the Bukit Barisan Regional Military Command as expert staff for national defence system.[7]

On 2 July 2018, Gina, who was attached to the army cavalry center, was appointed as Director E of the Armed Forces Intelligence Agency,[8] responsible for countering radicalism and terrorism.[9] In accordance with his new position, on 5 September Gina was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.[10] He was appointed as the commander of the main unit of the agency in 2019[11] before promoted to the deputy head of the armed forces intelligence agency on 27 July 2020.[1][12] He received his second star on 2 September 2020.[13]

Gina entered retirement with his assignment to the armed forces headquarters on 23 February 2021.[14] Upon retirement, President Joko Widodo nominated him as the ambassador to Afghanistan in June 2021.[15] Although he passed the assessment process held by the House of Representatives, by the time he was confirmed as ambassador[16] Taliban had already take control of Afghanistan following the 2021 Taliban offensive, and the post remained empty as Indonesia did not recognize the new government.[17] At the end of Joko Widodo's term, in August 2024 Gina was nominated for ambassador to Syria.[18] However, he was never summoned for a fit and proper test by the House of Representatives for the office.[19]

After Joko Widodo was replaced by Prabowo Subianto, Gina was nominated for ambassador to North Korea in July 2025.[20] The post was vacant since 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.[17]
