Indonesian Ambassador to Syria, Wahib Abdul Jawad, told ANTARA on Friday that Harbi, 56, who had worked for the embassy since 1985, was buried near his home in Damascus.
The ambassador added that although Damascus is relatively safe, other provinces such as Homs, Hama, Daraa, Deir ez-Zor and As Suwayda are in a dangerous situation.
The Indonesian embassy has evacuated around 233 Indonesian nationals from Syria since January this year.
"The evacuations were conducted by the embassy, and 400 other Indonesians have been returned to Indonesia by their employers," the ambassador remarked.
According to the embassy`s data, there are a total of 12,500 Indonesians in Syria. Most of them are migrant workers and students. (SYS/K-BSR/F001)
