Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics is looking into the possibility of cooperation with its Russian counterpart in the field of e-government.
Secretary General of the Communication and Informatics Ministry Suprawoto made the remarks after receiving a Russian delegation at the Communication and Informatics Ministry here on Monday, according to the ministry's website.
The Russian delegation led by Deputy Minister of Telecommunication and Mass Communication Alexei K Voilin will be in Indonesia for a four-day visit. Both nations are exploring the possibility of cooperation in the fields of e-government and education including scholarships.
"Today some 200 Indonesians are studying in Russia. They hope more Indonesians will study in Russia," Suprawoto said.
