Kendari,
SE.Sulawesi (Antara Bali) - President of Indonesia Joko Widodo is
scheduled to observe several infrastructure development projects in
Wakatobi district, Southeast Sulawesi province, on September 5, 2015.
"The
president's agenda to observe several development projects in Wakatobi
is part of the series of presidential visits in order to open the United
Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) meeting, which
will be attended by 176 regents and governors in the Asia Pacific
region," Head of administration of Wakatobi Hugua noted here on Tuesday.
According
to Hugua, some of the projects that will be observed by the president
include the construction of a gas power plant with a capacity of 2 x 3
megawatts, the construction of Panggulubelo seaport, and the Institute
of Fishery Genetic Engineering.
In addition, the president will also inaugurate the Wakatobi International Festival and the International Fishery School.
"Several
projects to be observed by the president hold strategic value for
developing and improving the welfare of the people in Wakatobi in
particular and Indonesia in general," he emphasized.
The UCLG
ASPAC meeting will discuss several important issues concerning the
UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Program) based on the
perspectives of interests, needs, and the considerations of the local
administration.
"We hope the discussion on important issues can
create a commitment to support sustainable urban development and the new
urban agenda to be approved in HABITAT III (the United Nations
Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development)," he remarked.
Being the host of the meeting, the UCLG ASPAC will help boost Wakatobi's image internationally, Hugua affirmed.
"After
being known by the world community, Wakatobi will be able to attract
increasingly more number of foreign tourists," he added. (WDY)
