Governor seeks int'l support for project

JAKARTA: Governor Sutiyoso has offered Chinese businesspeople
the opportunity to take part in the development of the Central
Primary Tanah Abang market in Central Jakarta.

As many as 35 businesspeople from China, accompanied by
Indonesian businessman Tomy Winata, met with the governor at City
Hall on Thursday.

"During the meeting, the governor invited the businesspeople
to take part in the project," the assistant to the city secretary
for development affairs, Hari Sanjodjo, said after the meeting.

The project covers the Tanah Abang traditional market and its
surrounding areas, a total of 27.26 hectares. Sutiyoso plans to
transform the area into Central Jakarta's business district, at a
cost of some Rp 8 trillion. -- JP
