Letter from the Governor of Lampung Province, Indonesia
9 March 1999
Correspondence from the Governor of Lampung, Drs Oemarsono, following the retirement of Shane Stone as Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory. Extensive mail, fax and telephone messages were received from throughout the Asia Pacific, Territory and from Australia wide, hence, a small selection of the correspondence has been included in the archives. As the Northern Territory Minister for Education & Training Shane Stone had direct responsibility for the IATVEP - AudAid funded vocational education and training program running in 5 Eastern Provinces of Indonesia in the early 1990's. Later as Australia's first Minister for Asian Relations & Trade and as Chief Minister Shane Stone travelled the Republic of Indonesia extensively. The Northern Territory enjoyed an unrivalled profile throughout Indonesia which led to investment, trade and education of Indonesia students at Territory schools and enrolments at NTU. Lampung is a province on the southern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra sharing many similarities with Australia's Northern Territory as evident from Governor Oemarsono's letter.- Document type: Correspondence
