JAKARTA (JP): The Canadian Embassy in cooperation with the Indonesia-Canada Chamber of Commerce will host a Canada-Sumatra Business Marketplace on April 3 in the North Sumatra capital of Medan.

The Canadian embassy announced yesterday that the Canada- Sumatra Business Marketplace will bring together Canadian private sector representatives and Sumatran counterparts for an examination of business opportunities in the island.

The marketplace will include presentations by the participating Canadian firms and their possible contributions to local development projects.

"Canadian firms have worked extensively in infrastructure projects in Sumatra. It is my hope that these linkages can be expanded further through the creation of new partnerships," said Canadian Ambassador in Jakarta, Lawrence T. Dickenson. (13)
