SPOTLIGHT ON SURABAYA

Surabaya, Indonesia's secondlargest city, is renowned for being the site of a fierce 1945 battle during the Indonesian National Revolution. Soon after the nation declared independence in August of that year, its forces fought against the British and their allies some weeks later. The republican forces prevailed, and Heroes' Day is celebrated nationwide each year on November 10. Eight decades on, Surabaya is making the most of its position as one of the country's most prominent business centres.
