Welcome address by Ir.Pranoto Asmoro Chairman, National Coordination Agency

for survey and Mapping on the Opening of the 5th Meeting of the United Nations

Divisional Group of Experts on Geographical Names, *' Asia, South-East Division held in Cibinong, Bogor, Indonesia

gth December, 1980

Distinguished delegates, c .

On behalf of the Government of Indonesia and the Indonesian

Delegates, I have pleasure to extend a hearty welcome to the

distinguished delegates, who have come to attend this Fifth

Divisional Group of Experts Meeting on Geographical Names. .

This meeting is supposed to be held already in 1978, pursuant

to the recommendation addopted at the Fourth Meeting in Kuala

Lumpur. May 1, at this occasion, extend my apologies for this

postponement, which however show to be beneficial in relation

to a proper preparation for the Ninth Session of the UN Group .

of Experts on Geographical Names to be held in New York coming

February.

As you know, at the Ninth UN Cartographic Conference for Asia

and the Pacific, held in Wellington, New Zealand, it was

recommended that this Division be enlarged and renamed as the

Asia, South-East and the Pacific Division. * . . To accommodate this recommendation,mentioned in ResolutionNo. of the

9th UNRC Conference, this meeting includes under item 4 of the .

proposed agenda "Nomination or Representatives of New Member

Countries, since the Resolution did not mention the extend of

the Pacific Area nor which countries are to be included.

J A further . . . . . . __._ -

A further recommendation was for Malaysia to remain

Representative for the next period. Since Mr.Leong Yip sun,

the Director of National Mapping,.Malaysia, is not able to

attend this meeting, Mr.Abdul Majid bin Mohamed, the Malaysian

Divisional

Chief Delegate, will act on his behalf as Divisional Represen- 1

tative to chair the coming meeting. .

Although since the Fourth Meeting in Xuala Lumpur no formal

meetings were held, even not on the technical level, it does

not mean that there have‘not been any activity at all, at the

country report will show. .

This'is a clear indication, that the Division retains its

enthusiasm and its spirit of cooperation to continue the

ever challenging task of standardizing all geographical names

in the Division. _. .

On this basis of common interest and common benefit, I am

fully confident that this meeting will lead to fruitful1 .

results.

Last butnot.least, I wish you all a pleasant and ejoyable stay

in our country. a . . .

Thank you.
