PRINCE CHARLES TO VISIT YOGYAKARTA PALACE
Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Oct 31 (ANTARA) - British Prince Charles in his five-day tour of Indonesian on November 1-5 will visit the Yogyakarta palace and have a meeting with Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X.
"Prince Charles will be in Yogyakarta on November 4," a local staff of the British embassy, Grace Hutasoit, said here on Friday.
In addition to a meeting with Sri Sultan, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II will also have a close look at two locations in Yogyakarta. "I can't disclose the names of the two locations to be visited by Charles," she said.
Prince Charles is scheduled to arrive in Yogyakarta on Tuesday (Nov 4) at about 11:30 and will proceed to other places until 16:50.
Before coming to Indonesia, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Japan and Brunei Darussalam.
"The Prince's visit to Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, will focus on encouraging greater understanding between faiths, and promoting a sustainable low carbon future and youth employment opportunities," the embassy said.
Prince Charles is to meet Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Nov 2, British ambassador to Indonesia Martin Halfuil said.
The meeting with Yudhoyono would discuss issues on global warming and religious tolerance, said the ambassador.
"The visit would raise issues of climate change, especially the rainforest in Indonesia and interfaith tolerance," Halful was quoted by the detik online as saying.
Indonesia is one of the initiators of the campaign against global warming. The archipelagic country has tried hard to lower its high rate of deforestation by planting tens of millions of trees and implement strong law enforcement.
The prince's last visit to Indonesia was in 1989.
