Hungarian Ambassador to Indonesia Szilveszter Bus, has praised a breakthrough made by Governor Made Mangku Pastika who highlighted Bali as an organic-oriented province.

“We really appreciate all activities that are aimed at preserving and protecting the environment. Organic farming and industry are real actions to such an aim,” Bus told Antara state news agency during a meeting with Pastika in Denpasar.

Bus said that organic farming was a suitable system to be developed in Bali because it could help the province promote its tourism sites to international public, he added.

Bus further said that Hungary had deployed Gabriela Chrisofoli as an honorary consul to Bali in support of a plan to start a partnership with the province in macro economy, culture, education and tourism fields.
