JAKARTA: Spain will help build a marine information center in
the Central Java coastal town of Cilacap in a bid to help develop
Indonesia's marine resources, a minister said.

Spain chose Cilacap because the town had a reliable port in
Tanjung Inten, Coordinating Minister for Political Affairs and
Security Soesilo Soedarman said after meeting with President
Soeharto at Merdeka Palace on Monday.

The President heads the National Marine Council, Antara
reported.

The marine information center in Cilacap, about 350 km
southeast of here, will be the first of its kind in the country.

Soesilo however did not elaborate on Spain's assistance.
