"This forum has a strategic meaning in strengthening the economic partnership between the two countries, especially in the development of MSMEs as the backbone of the national economy. Business actors must be able to be integrated into the global value chain and be adaptive to digital transformation and technological innovation," said Maman in his statement, Friday, April 3.
In addition to encouraging investment, this forum is also considered important in expanding the business network between Indonesia and China, which has been one of the main trading partners.
