JAKARTA (JP): A Netherlands trade and energy mission will
\npartake in the Electric Indonesia '95 exhibition and will host a
\nseminar on energy here next week, Director of the Indonesian-
\nNetherlands Association Chris Smith said yesterday.<\/p>\n
\"The visiting mission, organized by the Netherlands Foreign
\nTrade Agency and the association, will have a Holland pavilion at
\nthe trade fair and host the energy seminar entitled Indonesia-
\nDutch Partnership at the Jakarta Kemayoran Fairground,\" Smith
\nsaid at a luncheon meeting at the Financial Club here.<\/p>\n
The Dutch embassy's counselor, J.T.M. Vervloed, said that
\ngovernment officials and business executives from 14 companies
\nwill take part in the mission, led by Deputy Director General of
\nEnergy Rens Knegt.<\/p>\n
Electric Indonesia '95, which will take place from Nov. 22 to
\nNov. 25, is the seventh of a series of power generation,
\nelectronics and electrical equipment exhibitions.<\/p>\n
Twenty three foreign countries will participate in the four-
\nday exhibition, which is slated to be opened by Minister of Mines
\nand Energy I.B. Sudjana.<\/p>\n
Vervloed said that delegates of the mission will also hold
\nmeetings with Indonesian government officials and executives of
\nthe state-owned electricity company PLN and oil and gas company
\nPertamina.<\/p>\n
Netherlands Queen Beatrix led her country's largest trade
\nmission to Indonesia in August. During her 11-day visit, the
\nQueen was accompanied by her husband, Prince Claus, and more than
\n20 business people.<\/p>\n
Her visit has since helped relations between Indonesia and the
\nNetherlands, particularly in the business sector. Relations
\nturned sour in 1992 after Indonesia decided to refuse Dutch
\ndevelopment aid because of perceived interference in Jakarta's
\ndomestic affairs.<\/p>\n
In trade with the Netherlands, Indonesia has long enjoyed a
\nsurplus. According to the Dutch embassy, Indonesia's exports to
\nthe Netherlands increased from 1.1 billion guilders (US$701.8
\nmillion) in 1991 to 1.8 billion guilders in 1994, while
\nIndonesia's imports from the country increased from 711 million
\nguilders to 779 million guilders.<\/p>\n
The Dutch made investments of $96 million in Indonesia in
\n1992, $311 million in 1993 and $173 million in 1994. (kod)<\/p>",
