Indonesian festival to be held in Melbourne

The Jakarta Post

BRISBANE (Antara): A three-day Indonesian festival will be held in Melbourne, Australia, from Nov. 9 to 12, the Indonesian Consulate General spokesman in Melbourne, Jaha Gultom, told Antara by phone on Monday.

He said an investment forum, trade show, cultural performance and food bazaar would feature in the festival, which was being organized by the Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne.

"The theme of the Indonesian festival this year is Sulawesi. Delegations from at least 15 provincial administrations have confirmed they would take part in the event," Gultom said, adding more than a hundred Australian business groups would attend.

He said the annual festival, which was held for the first time in Melbourne in 2005, was an event conducted to promote investment and trade between the two countries.

At the festival, Australian businesspeople will have the opportunity to talk with Indonesian business officials from central and regional governments.
