Letter from the Head of the Department of Education and Culture, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

4 March 1999

Correspondence from Drs Arifin Thalib, the former head of Vocational Education in South Sulawesi following the retirement of Shane Stone as Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory. Extensive mail, fax and telephone messages were received from the Asia Pacific region, throughout the Territory and from Australia wide, hence, a small selection of the correspondence has been included in the archives. Arifin worked with Shane Stone in his capacity as NT Education & Training Minister responsible for the IATVEP - AudAid funded vocational education and training program running in 5 Eastern Provinces of Indonesia in the early 1990's. Later as Australia's first Minister for Asian Relations & Trade and as Chief Minister Shane Stone travelled the Republic of Indonesia extensively. The Northern Territory enjoyed an unrivalled profile throughout Indonesia which led to investment, trade and education of Indonesia students at Territory schools and enrolments at NTU.
