The meeting discussed strengthening economic cooperation between Indonesia and Australia, especially in increasing productivity, human resource development, and strengthening the economic resilience of both countries.

In addition, the preparation of national recommendations regarding the use of artificial intelligence in Indonesia is one of the important aspects that need to be considered," explained Airlangga.
In addition, Airlangga highlighted the urgency of tax reform as part of the national priority agenda, and hoped that the issue could become the focus of the implementation of PROSPERA Phase II.
