RI builds Palestine ports

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian government will take part in the
construction of a number of seaports in Palestine, an official of
the Palestine embassy here said.

"The agreement for the construction of the ports was signed
some time ago by the presidents of both countries and the
projects will soon be commenced," Ibrahim Hamad, the second
secretary of the Palestine embassy told the Antara news agency
during his trip in Ambon last week.

Ibrahim said that the construction of the ports, which will
also involve the French government, is expected to stimulate
business activities with neighboring countries.(hen)
