Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Greg Moriarty, said in a press statement here on Tuesday that 93 Indonesians have been selected as Australia Awards Fellows and will receive training and professional development opportunities in Australia.

Australia Awards Fellowships provide senior officials and mid-career professionals from developing countries with the opportunity to undertake short-term study, research and professional development within Australian organisations.

"The Australian Government is committed to helping our closest neighbours respond to a wide range of development issues, while building people-to-people links," said Ambassador Moriarty.

Australia Awards Fellowships provide education and training to professionals who are in a position to advance the development of their countries when they return home. At the same time they strengthen links between organisations and individuals in Australia and developing countries in our region.

"This latest round of Fellowships will build capacity in a variety of sectors across Indonesia including: border management and people movement; sustainable local water provision; improved HIV responses; and human resource development in Papua," Ambassador Moriarty said. (*/DWA)
