Try cancels Soreang trip

SOREANG, West Java (JP): Minister of Health Sujudi had to abruptly open the Village Information Week here yesterday after Vice-President Try Sutrisno's departure from Jakarta was delayed for over three hours due to bad weather.

Try, accompanied by Minister of Information Harmoko, was originally scheduled to open the festivities at 9 a.m., but by 12:15 p.m. the Vice-President's plane had not taken off from the Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport.

As reported by Antara, organizers believed bad weather and fog covering the intended flight route were the causes of the delay.

The ninth Village Information Week, which is being held until Friday, is aimed at developing a strong "social and cultural dynamic" of the community through an exchange of information. (mds)
