Bali governor off to Washington

DENPASAR, Bali: Bali Governor Ida Bagus Oka has been invited
by the World Bank to attend a discussion on urban development in
Washington from May 18 to May 21.

"This is a good opportunity for us to participate in an
international event especially since Bali has been considered
successful in carrying out the World Bank-funded Bali Urban
Infrastructure Project," the governor was quoted by Antara as
saying yesterday.

He said the World Bank had offered him the opportunity to talk
about the project with representatives of several developing
nations who will also join the discussion.

President Soeharto has consented to Ida's participation in the
discussion.

"I will be home on May 23 prior to the arrival of Princess
Chulabhapra, the youngest daughter of the Thai monarch, who will
be vacationing in Bali," the governor added.

The Thai princess will be here for one week.
