Plaque recognizes relations

CANBERRA: The diplomatic relationship between the Republic of Indonesia and Australia has been recognized in a plaque at the Australian Archives Building.

The plaque was hung in a room in the east wing of the building where the first Indonesian Embassy was established in 1950.

The plaque was hung on Tuesday by Indonesian representative to Australia Imron Cotan in front of several ambassadors from various countries.

Prime Minister Sjahrir established the country's diplomatic relations with Australia in 1946.

Imron said that Australia had shown its support for Indonesia's independence since 1945. --Antara
