Finnish envoy to Kalimantan

JAKARTA: Finland's Ambassador Veli J. Ollikainen will be
visiting West Kalimantan next week, taking along with him some
Finnish business executives.

A statement by the Finland's embassy said that the ambassador,
accompanied by Commercial Counselor Markku Ranin, will call on
West Kalimantan Governor Aspar Awin and visit a number of
Finnish-funded projects and joint ventures.

The Finnish business activities in the province have focused
mainly on forestry and forest industry and energy. Finland's most
recent joint ventures in the area include the replanting project
of the Finnish paper giant Enso Gutzeit, Gudang Garam and
Inhutani III which will provide raw material for a very large
pulp mill planned to be built later.
