Jakarta, July 31 (CNA) Due to rapid growth in interracial marriages between Taiwanese men and Indonesian women, Taiwan’s representative office here is offering a weekly class to help would-be Indonesian spouses better adapt to their new life in Taiwan.

Chang Liang-jen (張良任), Taiwan’s envoy to Indonesia, said the number of Taiwan-Indonesia marriages has been on the rise, which indicates ever increasing relations between the two countries.
