Indonesian @ Chicago, Midwest Region dan sekitarnya: 27 MAR Celebrating 70 years of Indonesia

Description
These days it's more important than perhaps ever before to build bridges between the US and the Muslim world. The best representatives in the US from Muslim-majority countries are, of course, their diplomats. Sabeel Center aspires to play its bridge-building role with periodic presentations by these diplomats about issues pertinent to both the Muslim ummah and the US.

Celebrating 70 years of Indonesia - US Relations
In 2019, Indonesia and the US celebrate 70th anniversary of Indonesia-US bilateral relationship. It is a celebration of the people of the two countries, as Indonesians and Americans come together to commemorate their rich diversity, democratic traditions, and partnership. Indonesia is considered the leader in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), an important strategic region for the US.

Under the framework of Indonesia-US Strategic Partnership (2015), both countries share a common vision to maintain strong bilateral relations as the foundation for greater cooperation in all fields, such as security, trade, and defense.

Sabeel Center is proud to host its next Muslim Diplomats Lecture with Hon. Rosmalawati Chalid, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Chicago.
