China to open cultural center in Indonesia
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 08/28/2007 1:46 PM
JAKARTA: The Chinese government will in the near future establish a Chinese Language and Cultural Center in Indonesia in an effort to step up social and cultural relations between the two countries, Indonesian Embassy spokesman, Mohamad Oemar, said in Beijing on Monday.
""China has a profound interest in setting up its language and cultural center in Indonesia, especially in the capital Jakarta,"" Oemar told Antara.
He said the Indonesian government would similarly establish its language and cultural center in China to enable people from both countries to interact among themselves.
A number of universities in China already have Indonesian language and culture programs for their students, Oemar said.
The Indonesian language was no longer a stranger in China, he said, but the government also wanted to establish a cultural center in China.-- JP
