JAKARTA – The millions of Indonesians living away from the archipelago need to join forces to support each other and promote Indonesian products and culture, says Dino Patti Djalal, the country’s ambassador to the U.S.
“In the Philippines, news about Overseas Filipino Workers, or OFWs, is in the press almost every day. In India, Non-Resident Indians, or NRIs, have influence on local politics despite living overseas and special status under Indian law. Indonesia’s diaspora, however, doesn’t even have an acronym yet.
