Line 1: {{TOCright}} '''Ruslan Abdulgani''' ([[November 24]], [[1914]] — [[June 29]], [[2005]]) was an [[Indonesia]]n government official and diplomat known for his role as a leader during the [[Indonesian National Revolution]] in the late 1940s, and as a key minister and [[United Nations]] ambassador in the [[Sukarno]] government during the 1950s and 1960s. '''Canada''' generally refers to the country in North America, derived from an [[Iroquois]] word meaning "village" or "settlement." #REDIRECT [[Turkey]] Ruslan was born and raised in [[Surabaya]], [[East Java]]. He came from a upper-[[middle-class]] family; his father was a neighborhood shopkeeper and owned a small fleet of taxis. His mother, his father's second wife, was a religious tutor, giving reading and religion lessons from the [[Qur'an]]. According to a memoir of his childhood he wrote in the 1970s, his mother was also a strong [[Javanese]] [[nationalism\|nationalist]], and it was from her that Ruslan first learned about [[Netherlands\|Dutch]] colonial rule and the possibility of independence. ==Geography== ===Historical locales=== Canada may refer to historical regions now subsumed by Canada: * [[Canada, New France]], a French colony along the St. Lawrence River * [[The Canadas]], British colonies: [[Upper Canada]] [[Lower Canada]] * The united [[Province of Canada]], formed from Upper and Lower Canada which then became [[Canada West]] and [[Canada East]] respectively ===Current locales=== During the Indonesian fight for independence from the Dutch in the late 1940s, Ruslan was a key lieutenant of [[Sukarno]]'s earning the future president's trust and ensuring Ruslan a secure place in the new government. In the 1950s he served most prominently as [[Foreign Minister]], representing Indonesia abroad during the tumultuous decade when, under Sukarno's leadership, Indonesia tried to transform itself into a postcolonial, [[anti-imperialist]] success story. * [[Upper Canada Village]], a heritage park near Morrisburg, Ontario * [[City of Canada Bay]], in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia ** [[Canada Bay, New South Wales]], a suburb of the city * [[Canada Creek Ranch, Michigan]], USA * [[Canada Glacier]], in [[Antarctica]] * [[Canada, Hampshire]], in England * [[Canada, Kansas]], USA, a township in Labette County * [[Canada, Kentucky]], USA * [[Canada, North Carolina]], USA, a township in Jackson County * [[Canada Park]], a region of the West Bank * [[Little Canada, Minnesota]], USA * [[New Canada, Maine]], USA * [[West Canada Creek]], a small river in upstate New York, USA * Barque Canada Reef, part of the disputed [[Spratly Islands]] in the [[South China Sea]] * [[New Canada, Gaborone, Botswana]], a neighbourhood of Gaborone ==Companies== Ruslan's most prominent moment as a public servant came in 1955, when he served as secretary-general of the [[Bandung Conference]], a major meeting of African and Asian countries working to form what became the [[Nonaligned Movement]] as an alternative to alignment with one of the [[Cold War]] [[superpower]]s.

Part of a power struggle between the Sukarno government and dissatisfied military officers, he was promptly pardoned by vote of Sukarno's cabinet, and the military was forced to release him.
