Over 1,000 reporters for MPR session

JAKARTA: At least 1,163 journalists from 195 domestic and
foreign media have registered to cover the Annual Session of the
People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) scheduled for August.

Eni, a staff member at the Assembly Secretariat, confirmed on
Monday that the number could possibly rise due to the need for
more reporters from television and radio stations.

Head of the MPR Protocol Unit Sadino said his staff was
preparing to invite foreign diplomats to watch the Annual
Session.

He said, however, that they had not decided on the number of
invitation cards yet as they were waiting for information from
the 90-strong working body of the MPR.

As was the case with Annual Sessions in the past, foreign
diplomats will show up on the first day of the Annual Session,
Sadino said. - JP
