Guide to Aussie firms in RI released

NUSA DUA, Bali (JP): Australian Foreign Minister Alexander
Downer launched here yesterday the Directory of Australian
Businesses in Indonesia, a verified listing of some 400 firms.

Downer described the directory as "a whole book full of
potential relationships and contacts" and said it should serve as
a guide for Australian firms venturing into Indonesia.

Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Production and
Distribution Hartarto, who also attended the launching, welcomed
the directory as a means to enhance trade and investment
cooperation between the two countries.

The directory includes a comprehensive editorial section along
with listings of more than 300 Australian firms or joint
ventures, plus nearly 100 Indonesian companies which work with
Australian enterprises.

The editorial section features an analysis of two-way trade
and economic snapshots of both countries.

The directory provides media and special association contacts,
as well as details on the Australian government's services in
Indonesia.

Complete indices on Australian and Indonesian firms, and
businesses classified by product or service activities, are
included.

The directory is produced by the Australian Gold Group and its
Indonesian partner Masindo, in cooperation with Austrade. (rid)
