Furniture expo planned

JAKARTA (JP): PT Ad-House Primacipta, in cooperation with Asmindo Jakarta, will conduct an international furniture fair at the Jakarta Convention Center in November.

Soedirman, president of Ad-House, said over the weekend that about 100 companies will exhibit their products in the event, which will be attended by approximately 1,000 foreign buyers.

Rudy Lengkong, chairman of the National Agency for Export Development, has encouraged businessmen to take part in the exhibition, to promote Indonesia's non-oil exports.

"We face tough competition from countries like China, Thailand and Vietnam in attracting foreign capital. Because of this our ability to finance our export-oriented products is becoming more and more challenged," Lengkong said. (rid)
