Magazine to promote exports

JAKARTA (JP): The Media Karya Press Group yesterday launched a new magazine, called Products & Industry, to promote Indonesia's manufactured products to the international community.

The magazine's general manager, Cosmas Batubara, the former manpower minister, said in the launching ceremony that the English-language publication would be available at Indonesia's embassies and trade promotion centers overseas.

"We have achieved remarkable progress in the manufacturing industry, but we need to aggressively promote our industrial products to the international market," Cosmas said in pointing out the mission of the bimonthly magazine.

The magazine is edited by Andi Baso Mappatoto, a former senior editor of the Antara news agency. (hdj)
