TOKYO, February 6: Stung by criticism that it was not doing enough for Asia, Japan said on Friday that it would send a delegation to Indonesia ahead of this month's Group of Seven (G7) meeting to discuss the possibility of fresh aid to the country."With the G7 meeting coming up soon, this (delegation) will provide important input to the finance minister and the prime minister on what help Japan can extend," a senior official of Japan's ministry of finance (MOF) said. "There is still more room for us to actively aid the country (Indonesia)," another MOF official said. The delegation will leave on February 11 for Singapore and Indonesia.
