UK minister arrives today

JAKARTA (JP): British Minister for Horticulture, Forestry and
Rural Affairs Tim Boswell is expected to arrive here today for a
three-day visit to promote business relations with Indonesia, the
British embassy announced Saturday.

"This trade mission will build on the success of last year's
visit by my ministerial colleague, Tony Baldry, and the
memorandum of understanding that we signed with Indonesia in
July," Boswell was quoted by the embassy as saying.

The minister will be accompanied by a business team
representing companies offering a wide range of goods and
services.

The embassy also announced that Britain's Nottinghamshire
Chamber of Commerce and Industry is organizing a trade mission to
Indonesia from Sept. 22 to Sept. 27.

British companies involved in the mission will promote a wide
range of products and services, from machines dispensing hot and
cold drinks to the lighting towers used in aircraft maintenance.
