“Indonesia Entrepreneur Wants to Buy Disneyland“—Come to Indonesia and Smell the Confidence, Feel the Asian Renaissance”!


Dear Trojans,

As you may know, Amb. Dino gave an excellent APBO keynote speech at USC on March 28. His webcast remarks and Q&A are available at:
http://www.marshall.usc.edu/news/releases/2011/asiapacific-business-outlook-2011

The Ambassador also met privately for photos and discussion with 10 of the 12 MISIP interns and has invited them to participate in a high-level conference on “Futurology,” which he is involved with in Jakarta on July 28. (I will soon send you some of the MISIP photos.)

Attached is a very favorable April 4th article about Amb. Dino’s APBO speech. The author is syndicated in about 20 papers in the Pacific Rim and the Middle East, including the Jakarta Post.

Best regards,
Richard Drobnick
