Primo Alui Joelianto, head of the Foreign Ministry’s Asia Pacific-Africa department would lead Indonesia’s delegation of bureaucrats at the senior’ officials meetingsin Sydney, told The Australian, (1/9/2007), p. 23, he was particularly concerned to make sure Howard’s climate change declaration did not detract from the UN climate change conference in Bali in December. “It should be a once-only statement, not to be followed by projects, since only the UN is responsible for that - not APEC - and we want to avoid duplication,” he insists. “I don’t know whether this will be acceptable to the other participants. but one of the elements in the draft says this declaration should be supportive (of the, UN conference). That is what we would like.”
