World Bank, ADB, Japan support termination of CGI forum - Indonesian minister
JAKARTA (XFN-ASIA) - Coordinating Minister for the Economy Budiono said the country's three main donors under the Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI) have supported the government's decision to scrap the group's annual forum this month. The three largest donors are the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Japan. "I have met with the three. In principle, they have no objection. We hope other members will also support (this)," Budiono told a press briefing. He added that although the CGI forum will be scrapped, Indonesia will continue its dialogue with each donor country. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said yesterday that the country no longer needs the forum. During the annual CGI forum, the government normally presents its development plan to be discussed and sometimes criticized.
