British businessmen to visit Indonesia

JAKARTA: A British delegation, grouped under the Indonesian-
British Business Council, is scheduled to visit the nation on
Nov. 22-23 to get a closer look at the business climate here and
the government's plans to boost exports and investment.

The team, to be led by the British co-chairman of the Council
Ian Thomas, will meet its Indonesian counterpart -- head of the
British Committee at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (Kadin) Maxi Gunawan -- to seek ways to improve trade
relation between the two nations.

It would also meet with several Cabinet ministers, as well as
leading British and Indonesian businessmen, a press statement
issued by the British Embassy said.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has repeatedly pledged that
improving the business climate, which should boost export and
investment, would top the list of his administration's agenda. --
