However it is not the key to it. Without the capacity to acquire, possess and further develop the technology, the possession of natural resources is not a guarantee for the achievement of nationhood. Japan has shown that by possessing of an abundance of highly skilled and industrious working force capable to absorb and develop technologies, the lack of natural resources is not an obstacle to the development of the country, Therefore, to build Indonesia, we have to strengthen our capacity on technology where information is one of the key. We have to make use the scientific and technological information both for building up our capacity to absorb technologies as well as for minimizing costs by avoiding unnecessary technological efforts.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "On that frame of mind, our Agency consider that machine translation technology will bring a new opportunity for Indonesia and therefore, is very keen in participating the development of MT system.

We are very keen to be involved in this R&D Project because we believe that the results of the project will able to enhance the information exchange between Japan, Indonesia and other involved countries and therefore will able to improve the technology and cultural cooperation. We are also expecting that this project may show a good example of the need of a concrete R&D cooperation between technologically developed country and technologically less-developed country for the benefit of both.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "The Activities in Indonesia", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "-113 -", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "The Activities in Indonesia", "sec_num": null } ], "back_matter": [], "bib_entries": {}, "ref_entries": {} } }
