Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Kiev city administration in Ukraine has offered subway development assistance to the Jakarta city government which is planning to have a mass rapid transportation system, Kiev Deputy Mayor Sergiy Yaroslavovych Rudik said here Thursday.
Kiev which already has a subway system with 40 stations was ready to send experts to Jakarta to help Jakarta build a subway system, Rudik said after signing a memorandum of understanding on establishment of sister-city relations between Jakarta and Kiev.
The Kiev subway experts could help minimize mistakes in the selection of locations for Jakarta`s subway system, he said.
Rudik also invited Jakarta entrepreneurs to participate in several sport stadium construction projects in Kiev which would host the European Cup tournament in 2012.
Meanwhile, Jakarta Deputy Governor Fauzi Bowo who signed the MoU with Kiev said Jakarta and Kiev had intended to establish sister-city relations since 2005.
"But we have been able to realize the plan only now, in 2007," said Bowo who was impressed by the beauty of Kiev when he visited the Ukraine capital some time ago.
He said the sister-city cooperation would consist of programs to develop city transportation, city parks, small- and medium-scale businesses, culture and sports.
