SA and West Java to reunite as sisters

Long-lost sister states South Australia and Indonesia's West Java will be reunited under a new memorandum of understanding.

Trade Minister Martin Hamilton-Smith says a government delegation from West Java is in Adelaide to visit the OzAsia Festival and to revive a lapsed sister-state relationship.

"There will be a signing imminently - as soon as tonight," Mr Hamilton-Smith told the South Australian Parliament on Thursday.

SA and West Java signed an agreement to become sister states in 1997 to increase trade, business and cultural exchange but it lapsed in 2007.
