Indonesia has become one of the front lines in the fighting against the H5N1 virus.

 

The United States President George Walker Bush in his meeting with his Indonesian counterpart Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on November 20 in Bogor town near Jakarta, has promised to help Indonesia in combating the deadly disease.

 

Indonesia, which has been lack of funds to combat the disease, expects the United States can use its power to push donor countries to materialize their pledge of around 6 billion U.S. dollars to help fight avian influenza during their meeting in Beijing, China.

 

Experts have warned international community of the risks of the disease if Indonesia fails to prevent the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus from spreading.

 

The huge territory, backyard centered farming and relatively lack budget have hampered the authorities in the country to fighting avian influenza.
