South Korea will hold a government-civilian meeting on Tuesday to discuss details of how to help Indonesia,
which was recently hit by an earthquake and tsunami, an official here said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier announced plans to provide Indonesia with $1 million in emergency cash aid, as the local island of Sulawesi was devastated by a 7.5-magnitude quake and ensuing tsunami last week.
