London (Antara Bali) - Indonesian Vice President Boediono is scheduled to meet British Prime Minister David Cameron on the sidelines of the Open Government Partnership Annual Summit 2013 here on Thursday.

"Before the Open Government Partnership Annual Summit 2013 (OGP Summit 2013) begins, the vice president will pay a courtesy call on the British Prime Minister," Vice Presidential Spokesman Yopie Hidayat said here on Thursday.

After the meeting, Boediono, who was accompanied by Presidential Work Unit for Development Control and Supervision (UKP4) Head Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, will attend the OGP Annual Summit 2013.

The OGP will begin with David Cameron's address and will be followed by Boediono's speech. After delivering their speeches, Cameron will hand over the OGP Chairmanship 2014 to Vice President Boediono, marking that Indonesia will chair the OGP for a year ahead.

UKP4 Head Kuntoro Mangkusubroto said OGP at present had 60 member states, including Indonesia.

Launched in 2011, OGP is seeking to provide an international platform for domestic reformers committed to making their governments more open, accountable, and responsive to citizens.

Kuntoro said the vice president's attendance at the OGP Summit will be of great importance to show the world that Indonesia has made every effort to improve its services to the public. (*/DWA)
