Swiss keen on Balinese dances

DENPASAR, Bali: The Swiss government has asked the provincial government to send a dancing troupe to Switzerland to perform for three days in April.

The invitation was conveyed by the visiting Swiss Minister of Education Peter Pscheid when he met with governor Ida Bagus Oka on Tuesday.

Oka said like many other European countries, Switzerland was currently "crazy" for traditional arts and that he would consider the request.

He and Pscheid also discussed Bali's plan to take part in an industrial expo in Bonn from April 2 through 8, Antara reported. (pan)
