Today, an estimated 6,351
Europeans reside in Indonesia, with 13.8% settling in the country. This is according
to the Ministry of Manpower and Transportation report on May 10th. Indonesia’s
economic boom and the advent of the European Union have led to increased
cultural exchange and strengthened ties. According to the Indonesia Diaspora Network
report December 2013, 185,512 Indonesians made the Old Continent their home; this
is in addition to around 700,000 people of mixed or Indonesian descent within
the Netherlands.
