Great Decisions at the Library - Understanding Indonesia

Library U's 2024 foreign affairs discussion series, GREAT DECISIONS AT THE LIBRARY, continues on Sunday, March 21, at 2 p.m. at the Bethany Lutheran Church with a discusion on Understanding Indonesia.

Despite its large size, Indonesia remains virtually invisible to most Americans. But as one of the world’s largest democracies, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, and as an economic driver of ASEAN, why does it fly below the radar? What are current issues in U.S.-Indonesian relations, and what role can the country play in Asia?

While enjoying coffee and pastries, participants view a 20-minute Foreign Policy Association film on the topic and then take part in a discussion lead by Mr. Ali Sungkar, The Consul for Economic Affairs of Indonesia. He will be joined by members of the Seattle-Surabaya (Indonesia) Sister City Association.
