CHINA: The Indonesian state-run news agency Antara has reopened its bureau in Beijing, attesting to the growing importance of China to its foreign news coverage. The bureau was closed in 2001 as part of an efficiency measure.
"Antara will play a significant and strategic role in efforts to develop the two countries' relations," Secretary General of the Communication and Information Ministry, Ashwin Sasongko, said in Beijing Thursday.
Antara Managing Director Asro Kamal Rokan said the news agency is also reopening its offices in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Canberra, and has maintained its office in New York all along.
"We will extend our wings to the Middle East, Africa and Europe next year," Asro said. --JP
