JAKARTA, Dec 26 (Bernama) -- The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Summit is expected to be held in North Sulawesi of Indonesia from May 11-15 next year, Indonesia's Antara news agency reported.
The summit will discuss efforts to save the sea from the threats of climate change, global warming and criminal acts as well as seek ways to safeguard coral reefs in the region, the news agency on December 26 quoted Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as saying.
The six countries which are directly involved in the CTI are Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, East Timor and two observers, namely the US and Australia.
