Mamuju, West Sulawesi (ANTARA Sulbar) - Five of the six districts in West Sulawesi Province have been prepared to greet the implementation of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), local government spokesman Nuralam Thahir stated here on Thursday.
He noted that the five districts, which have been ready to greet the ASEAN Economic Community are Polewali Mandar (Polman), Mamuju, North Mamuju, Mamasa, and Majene.
"These five districts have been designed to develop themselves for ASEAN Economic Community," Nuralam added.
According to him, AEC is a government program at the central level to create an economic region, which is competitive and integrated with a global economy.
He noted that Indonesia will play its role in improving its economy through the AEC program by establishing its industries and other economic sectors.
Nuralam pointed out that the districts of Polman and Mamuju will build processing industry of natural resources they have in abundance, while the North Mamuju district will be designed to be an "agropolitan" area aimed at eradicating hardcore poverty through various agricultural and agro-based development projects, and "minapolitan" area, a region which contains a fishery with a driving-based agribusiness.
Then, the districts of Mamasa and Majene will be designed to become tourist destination and the center of education. Bessr/Fardah Assegaf
