China, Indonesia to seek sunken treasure   

印尼將與中方合作打撈探究400處中國古沉船陶瓷器

印尼媒體22日援引國家博物館館長瑩丹的話報道稱，印尼將派專家和中國北京故宮博物館共同追溯和探究沉沒在印尼400處海底的中國古代陶瓷器。

Jakarta (CNS)-- China and Indonesia will work together to find ancient Chinese porcelain long lost in Indonesian waters, according to an official from the National Museum of Indonesia on Saturday.

Chinese merchant boats loaded with porcelain and other goods often sailed to Indonesia in ancient times, so a large amount of porcelain is expected to be found at nearly 400 shipwreck sites, the official said.

We will send experts to collaborate with the Palace Museum in Beijing to conduct the exploration work, he said.

The two museums signed a letter of intent in April, agreeing to cooperate in the preservation and protection of cultural relics.
