Jakarta, Nov 24, 2007 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) — IFCPF | charts | news | PowerRating — The government will open a stand called ‘Indonesia Pavilion’ to provide information on Indonesia for delegates and journalists during the United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change (UNCCC) in Bali on December 3-14, 2007.
“The government needs to set up an information center on Indonesia considering the big number of delegates and foreign journalists who will cover the international event,” Communications and Informatics Minister Muhammad Nuh said in Serang, Banten, on Saturday.
He said about 10,000 delegates and 2,500 foreign journalists were expected to attend the international conference on climate change.
“We need to be pro-active in providing information on Indonesia,” the minister said.
To be organized by the Ministry of Communications and Informatics and opened at the conference venue in Nusa Dua, Bali, the Indonesian Pavilion will provide information on developments in democratization, freedom of the press and Moderate Islam in Indonesia.
“We will show aspects of Indonesia’s journey to democracy, including the various events leading to the implementation of democratic elections from village to national level,” the minister said.
The pavilion would also show developments in press freedom in Indonesia, he said.
“The third thing the pavilion will show is moderate Islam. There is a trend of extremism, radicalism and so forth in the world which were linked to Islam. But when observing Islam in general in Indonesia, one will find that it is rather moderate,” the minister said.
