De Gaulle pushes France to expand in Indonesia market
Paris officials backed by President de Gaulle push France to gain economic influence in Indonesia. A task force led by Industry Minister Olivier Guichard visited Jakarta Aug 23 to discuss closer cooperation and to inaugurate the $130 million Djauluhur dam project built with French support. The dam irrigates 500000 acres and powers a 700000 kilowatt plant, financed by French banks led by Credit Lyonnais. France seeks a larger share of Indonesia’s $600 million annual imports, currently dominated by Japan and West Germany.
