East Kalimantan

East Kalimantan (Indonesian: About this soundKalimantan Timur) is a province of Indonesia. Its territory comprises the eastern portion of Borneo. It had a population of about 3.03 million at the 2010 Census (within the current boundary), 3.42 million at the 2015 Census, and 3.766 million at the 2020 census.[3] Its capital is the city of Samarinda.

Its former northernmost region was split off in October 2012 and is now North Kalimantan; meanwhile, it still shares a land border to the west with West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan; to its south, East Kalimantan borders South Kalimantan. The province bordered Sabah before the split, but still borders Sarawak. Wikipedia ->
