DILI: East Timor will join Expo Darwin in an effort to promote
its natural resources.

The vice chairman of the Provincial Investment Coordinating
Board (BKPMD), Basyiruddin Yusuf, said over the weekend that
participation in the expo was aimed at enhancing foreign
investment, Antara reported yesterday.

We are rich in natural resources and this makes it possible
for us to develop and exploit them for the sake of provincial
revenues, he said.

Expo Darwin will run from June 24 to June 29 in Darwin,
Australia.

"Almost every year East Timor takes part in Expo Darwin, but
we are yet to get what we want," he said. (sur)
