Indonesia is one of Asia's most dynamic nations, and home to one of the world's fastest-growing large economies. This diverse country has seen an era of increasing political stability, prosperity, and recognition as a key player in regional affairs. Indonesia's middle class is projected to double by 2020, helping to make this country a rising force in international trade.
In conjunction with the opening of the 68th United Nations General Assembly, Asia Society is pleased to present a luncheon and special discussion with Indonesia's Foreign Minister, His Excellency Dr. Marty Natalegawa. The program will be introduced by Asia Society Co-Chair Henrietta Fore, and moderated by Tom Nagorski, Asia Society's Executive Vice President.
