Indonesian link


The intricate sculptured motif on a wall that cover the Indonesian Consulate complex in Ecoland area portray this neighboring country's rich culture, and adds a distinct mark to the Davao cosmopilitan scenery. There are close ties with Davao and Indonesia especially when the city initiated the BIMP-EAGA (Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area) designed to boost economic and cultural ties between these regions far from its capital cities. It actually revived centuries-old links when these regions once traded with each other way back in the pre-colonial era.
