JAKARTA - Indonesia and Germany's cooperation does not only target investment and trade. President Prabowo Subianto also encourages the expansion of employment opportunities for Indonesian workers, including in the high technology and health services sectors.
The agreement was one of the results of the talks between Prabowo and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a meeting at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday, June 16.
In the midst of the need for skilled labor in various developed countries, Germany is one of the countries that opens opportunities for foreign workers, especially in the health and high technology industries.
Prabowo welcomed the signing of a Letter of Intent regarding the Global Skills Partnership in the field of nursing as an initial step to strengthen the labor mobility of the two countries.
"Indonesia also wants to expand employment opportunities for Indonesian workers in Germany, including in the high-tech sector," said Prabowo.
In addition to labor, the two countries also strengthen cooperation in the fields of education and skills improvement so that Indonesian human resources have higher competitiveness in the global market.
This human resources cooperation is one of the new dimensions of the Indonesia-Germany relationship, which has been known more through trade, investment, and industrial cooperation.
With a large productive age population, increasing Indonesian workers' access to international markets can be a strategic opportunity to strengthen the quality of national human resources.
