VIVAnews - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will still emphasize climate change although no assistance is offered by developed countries. Should there be aid from the developed countries, donation would be preferred to loans.
"Indonesia will go on with the contribution whether or not there is assistance," said the President. "We've got plans and actions to maintain forests," he said yesterday, May 25.
During his visit to Oslo, Norway, Mr Yudhoyono will seal a deal on forestry and climate change.
The Indonesian President will sign a Letter of Intent with Norway on forestry and climate change. As reported earlier, Indonesia has targeted a 26-percent decrease of carbon emission.
"I've frequently said that when developed countries show their contributions to developing countries having tropical forests, it should be considered as common responsibilities," he said.
