Following the 1965–66 anti-Communist purge in Indonesia, Tirana became a center for exiled members of the pro‑Chinese faction of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). Around 40 Indonesians lived in exile there during the early 1970s, many organized in the Persatuan Peladjar Indonesia, publishing Indonesian Tribune and Api Pemuda Indonesia. Radio Tirana also broadcast in Indonesian until about 1991.
