75th anniversary of Indonesian independence
Jakarta, August 17.- Indonesia celebrates the 75th anniversary of its Independence, which it reached in 1945, after 300 years of Dutch rule.
This commemoration inevitably reminds us of its founding father, Sukarno, who read the "Proclamation of Independence" for the first time, on August 17, 1945, today known as ¨Jalan Proklamasi¨, in Jalan Pegangsaan Timur (its current capital, Jakarta).
