The National Library greatly appreciates the assistance received from
Australian embassies in the Asian region. In Thailand and Indonesia, in
particular, the support of the Australian diplomatic posts over many years
has been invaluable for the Librarys acquisition and liaison work.
In recent weeks the Ambassadors-designate to these two countries have
visited the Library as part of the preparation for their postings. Mr
Miles Kupa, the new Ambassador to Thailand and Mr Ric Smith, Ambassador to
Indonesia both met with the Director-General Jan Fullerton and other
staff, before a tour of the building, including the Asian Collections.
