Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Bali provincial administration is interested in
strengthening cooperation with the Japanese government, especially in
the field of education and agriculture.
"As we know, Japan is well-known for its advances in the field of
education and agricultural technologies," the Bali Governor, Made Mangku
Pastika, said while receiving the Consul General of Japan, Hirohisa
Chiba, here on Wednesday.
According to him, the cooperation between Bali and Japan has been running well.
This is reflected in the growing number of Japanese tourists
visiting the island. In addition, many students from Bali are taking up
internship programs in the country.
Chiba pointed out that Bali has been exploring cooperation with
Komamoto province. In fact, the governor of Kumamoto visited Bali some
time ago.
The visit of Governor Kumamoto will be followed up by another visit of a technical team on June 21, 2016.
"The Kumamoto entourage plans to visit the Udayana University, the
Senior High School of Mandara and observe the Integrated Agricultural
System," Pastika informed.
Pastika hoped the cooperation will benefit both sides and will
provide more opportunities for Balinese students to continue their
education in Japan.
The Bali governor thanked the Japanese who give much attention to the development in the province.
Chiba welcomed the governor`s plan to strengthen the cooperation with Japan.
"Please support us to continue and improve our relationship," Chiba remarked.(WDY)
