Understanding ASEAN: Surabaya

Surabaya

Surabaya, the capital city of the Indonesian province of East Java, is a bustling commercial center and a major trading port for the islands to the east. Known as the “City of Heroes,” it gained historical significance during the first battle of the Indonesian revolution in November 1945. Situated on the northeastern coast of Java, along the Surabaya Strait opposite the island of Madura, it has a rich maritime heritage and is one of the earliest port cities in Southeast Asia.
