C. Kalimantan, Jakarta cooperate

JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja and Central Kalimantan Governor Warsito Rasman yesterday signed a cooperation agreement aimed at resolving development problems.

Under the agreement both provinces will work together to deal with various problems, ranging from population, social welfare, forestry, industry to immigration.

Surjadi said that Jakarta will participate in helping Central Kalimantan deal with human resources problems through training programs and send skilled workers through transmigration programs.

Warsito said that his province is rich in natural resources but its population of 1.3 million is too small for such a large province, which is ranked the third largest in Indonesia. (yns)
