'Whale' meets 'whale' in Vatican

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has tweeted a photo of herself meeting Pope Francis in the Vatican on Thursday.

She wrote that during her official state visit to Europe, meeting the pope had been on her agenda and she wanted to thank him personally for the Vatican’s support of the recent Our Ocean conference, which took place in Bali in October.



Susi also wrote that the message was delivered by Archbishop Piero Pioppo, the Vatican’s ambassador to Indonesia, during the conference.

She also attended the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) general meeting in Monaco, where she met Prince Albert II to give him a book about combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in Indonesia, which was compiled by the Presidential Task Force to Combat Illegal Fishing (Satgas 115).

The minister also signed a letter of intent between Indonesia and Monaco for research and cooperation on ocean coral reefs, met Poland’s Maritime Economy and Land Navigation vice minister to seek partnership possibilities, and attended an Ocean’s Action Day in Katowice, Poland.

Regarding Susi’s tweet on meeting the pope, a staff member, Fika Fawzia, tweeted a comment saying, “Actually Ibu Susi’s code name in the office is Paus [whale, which also translates to pope]. So yesterday’s report was ‘Paus [whale] ketemu [meets] Paus [pope]’.” (mut)

The Hollywood blockbuster featuring an all-Asian cast failed to ignite the Chinese box office, limping in at number eight on its debut. It was released four months after its US release, taking just $1.1 million (£857,000) in its first three days. The film has so far made around $238 million (£185.8 million) worldwide. Eyebrows may be raised at the fact Crazy Rich Asians has flopped in the world's largest Asian nation. But it's probably not that much of a surprise. Being released so long after the film came out in other big territories meant the hype and publicity had all but died down. The delayed release isn't particularly unusual for the Chinese market - films have to go through a censorship process and there is a quota for foreign films, with a limit of 34 movie imports a year. But an...
