JAKARTA (JP): Paris-based organizer of world's largest International Building and Construction Exhibition Batimat is inviting Indonesians to participate in its 20th exhibition to take place in Paris on Nov. 6-11 this year.

Batimat's general manager Peter Hazelzet told a promotion conference here on Thursday that the exhibition to occupy a 170,000 square meters area of Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center, in western Paris, will be also associated to another exhibition: the 14th International Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning exhibition Interclima, which will take place on the same time at Nord Villepinte, in northern Paris.

"These are international exhibitions, last year 40 percent of the visitors were foreigners, so you are not going to meet the French only but also international buyers," Hazelzet said.

In Indonesia Batimat is represented by French Commitee for Exhibition Promotions, a division of French embassy's commercial department, operating at World Trade Center.(als)
