Indonesia is a multicultural country which consists of more than three hundred ethnic groups, each of which has a background of culture, art, religion, language and traditions that are unique and have been developed over centuries. The development of Indonesian culture has been influenced by the interaction between the indigenous culture and the influx of foreign culture.
Geographically before 1944 (before Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste achieved self-determination) Indonesia was Australia’s closest neighbour. As neighbouring countries Indonesia and Australia certainly possess a long historical journey. An Indonesian prover states that “Neighbours are our closest relatives” which, as a moral teaching, has always promoted maintaining good relations with the closest people around us. Regardless of cultural backgrounds, foreign policies and economic circumstances it is in our best interest to always keep good relations with our neighbours.
