The partnership between the two nations isn't ending there, officials said Tuesday, stating a long-term partnership is envisioned with a commitment to seeing what is being called the world's first Little Indonesia district flourish.
The Somersworth and Dover mayors and an Indonesia deputy ambassador met Tuesday morning in City Council chambers to discuss the future plans involving the Tri-Cities and Indonesia.
The cultural center itself is the first phase of the Little Indonesia district project in New Hampshire's smallest city, with hopes there will be more across the United States, according to officials. Somersworth has about 2,000 Indonesians among its population of about 11,000. More Indonesians live in Dover and other local communities.
