SEMARANG (JP): The Canadian Embassy in Jakarta and the Central
Java chapter of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(Kadin) will cosponsor a business conference here on Tuesday to
increase business cooperation between the two countries.

Sundoro, chairman of Kadin's Central Java chapter, said on
Monday the conference was aimed at opening business opportunities
for Canadian and Central Java businesspeople through exchange of
data and information.

"The conference is hoped to bring in direct investment to
Central Java from Canada and increase exports to Canada," he
said, adding that at least 15 Canadian businessmen will attend
the conference.

The delegates will also visit the business centers in the
province such as to Tegal, Pekalongan, Jepara, Semarang, and
Surakarta, Sundoro said.
