TEMPO Interactive, Sydney:The Indonesian and Australia governments have agreed to reinforce their trade and investment relations as well as building capacity, especially in the agriculture sector.
The agreement was achieved in the Eighth Trade Minister Meeting in Sydney, Australia, last week.
Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu met with Australian Trade Minister, Simon Crean, at the occasion and discussed about improving bilateral relations and investments.
The ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand free trade agreement/FTA was signed last week in Bangkok, Thailand.
Indonesia and Australia have agreed to build capacity by focusing on the agricultural sector, including improving the beef and dairy product industry, which is in line with Indonesia’s priority in the sector of food security.
Mari and Crean also received FTA’s final draft on Indonesia-Australia joint feasibility study.
