[sustran] Asian Infrastructure Congress 29.11- 1.12.2006

[Todd Edelman]

Scheduled from 29 November - 1 December 2006 in Hong Kong, the 2nd annual
Asian Infrastructure Congress is an established event that provides a
neutral platform where infrastructure development planning meets project
financing. It is where infrastructure plans are discussed, projects are
presented and innovative financing tools are shared. It is where
public-private partnership is once again studied in greater details.

Infrastructure development in Hong Kong, China, Indonesia

Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings - an infrastructure powerhouse - will
be presenting at this Congress. Mr Kam Hing Lam, the group managing
director, being the keynote speaker, will present the powerhouse's success
story and strategy in developing infrastructure projects regionally and
internationally, and how Cheung Kong Infrastructure has grown to become
the largest publicly listed infrastructure company in Hong Kong.

Indonesia's infrastructure development and investment is always on the top
of every project developer and financier's agenda. Suyono Dikun, the
deputy minister for Indonesia's infrastructure and regional development at
the coordinating ministry for economic affairs, said that over the coming
five years, Indonesia would need about US$63 billion in new investment in
the infrastructure sector. By November, it is expected that a number of
new regulations and laws would be put in place. The new rules would
replace regulations dating back to 1967, and would seek to improve legal
standards, ease restrictive central and local government interference, and
reduce the length of time required to set up a business to about 30 days
compared to 150 days at present. Mr Dikun will of course, be a key speaker
at the 2nd annual Asian Infrastructure Congress, whom you should come and
meet up with.

China - the next big infrastructure powerhouse. Projects galore. But which
is the less risky project to finance? What is the government doing to
attract your investment dollar? Get the inside scoop on how you can
mitigate your risks in private-public partnerships, from Prof Dr Wang Shou
Qing, who has been involved with researching and consulting on BOT/PPP
