SOME 20 RI HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS TO VISIT JAPAN
Jakarta, Nov 10 (ANTARA) - The Japanese Association for International Manpower Development of Medium and Small Enterprises (IMM-Japan) and the Indonesian Manpower and Transmigration Ministry are sending 20 Indonesian high-school students to Japan for about 11 days.
"This program is very special because this year Indonesia and Japan are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. During their visit in Japan, I hope the students can acquaint themselves with Japanese culture and understand the Japanese people's ways of thinking," the Japanese Embassy's deputy head of missions Takio Yamada said at a function to send off the students here Monday.
The 20 boys and girls would be accompanied by representatives of the Japanese Association for International Manpower Development of Medium and Small Enterprises (IMM-Japan) and the Indonesian Manpower and Transmigration Ministry.
"During their stay in Japan. the Indonesian students can also introduce Indonesian culture to the Japanese people. It will be a chance for Japanese people to know Indonesian culture and lifestyle," he added.
The Indonesian students' visit to Japan under a youth exchange program was expected to increase and tighten the good relations and friendship between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Rubito, an official of the Directorate of Apprenticeship Development at the Manpower and Transmigration Ministry, said the students' program in Japan would include visits the small and medium enterprises in Japan.
"I hope, during their visit to the Japanese companies, the students can see the production processes, starting from the raw materials procurement to the final production phases, and see what corporate management methods that can be applied in Indonesia," he said.
"During their home stays in Japan, the students can also discuss Japanese culture, the present situation in Indonesia, Indonesian cuisine and tourism sites with their Japanese hosts," said Rubito, adding that they would also have an opportunity to visit schools in Japan.
"In the schools, you can learn how Japanese pupils study and get to know the Japanese education system," he said.
A representative of the Indonesian students, Visi Nandina Dikara, said the program was held with the purpose of tightening friendship and good relations between Indonesia and Japan.
"We can take the positive things we find in Japan and apply them in Indonesia. We hope we can thereby change ourselves as well as our community towards a better attitude," she said.
The 20 students were to depart for Japan on Monday evening.
