John Key's visit to Indonesia🇳🇿

Today I read news article about John Keys visit to Indonesia. Here is the article.

John Key's visit to Indonesia

New Zealand Prime Minister, John Key has recently completed a trans-continental trip.

His two-week tour started with a visit to Europe, a continent still grappling with the fallout of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union. Key then spent three days in Indonesia to talk trade and greater cooperation.

Indonesia has a population of 250 million and an economy predicted to be the world’s seventh-largest by 2030. Indonesia is seen as a country with huge opportunities for Kiwi exporters which hasn’t quite lived up to its potential.

Indonesia has a strong economy with annual growth at about 6 percent. The Government is keen to strengthen New Zealand’s trade relationships with Indonesia.

Indonesia’s large population is made up largely of young people. This provides strong opportunity for growth with Indonesia in the international education industry.

More than 30,000 Indonesian tertiary students are currently studying offshore – but less than one percent of them have chosen to study in New Zealand. The challenge is a lack of awareness of New Zealand as a study destination.

New Zealand currently provides 50 scholarships each year to Indonesian students for postgraduate study.

Hundreds die in Chinese floods🌊🌊

I read another article about the death of many in the Chinese floods in Central China. Reading this article I felt devastated for those who died and whom's houses were destroyed.

Hundreds die in Chinese floods

Floods in north and central China have killed at least 150 people, with more missing and hundreds of thousands forced from homes.

Hebei and Henan provinces are the worst hit by the flash floods and landslides.

At least 53,000 houses have been destroyed in Hebei.

Henan province has been badly hit too, with 72,000 people evacuated.

There have been power cuts and major problems with the communications and transport networks across a wide area.

The summer rains have been especially heavy in China this year.

It has estimated that more than 1.5 million hectares of crops have been damaged and said direct economic losses exceed $3bn.
