Jakarta - Indonesia and Belarus relations are getting closer with a number of cooperation agreements in a number of strategic sectors. The meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko on Thursday, July 2 at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, illustrates the closeness and harmony of relations between the two countries.
The Chairman of the National Leadership Council of the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) Shinta W. Kamdani, who was met by reporters after the meeting, said that the main discussion in the bilateral meeting was the government's sphere to explain it.
However, he said that the roadmap for cooperation between Indonesia and Belarus had been prepared through intergovernmental talks. According to Shinta, the presence of business actors in the state banquet is more diplomatic and builds relationships between parties.
The Belarusian delegation also brought a number of representatives, including from the business sector, although there were not many of them. Shinta explained that various cooperation discussed by the government included the agricultural sector and other areas that had been agreed upon in bilateral meetings.
However, the attention of the business world is now focused on the implementation of the Indonesia Trade Agreement with the Eurasian region. He said the agreement had been negotiated. The next challenge is no longer to draft an agreement, but to take advantage of the opportunities that are already available.
According to Shinta, the utilization of the agreement will run through Indonesia's relations with each member country, such as Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Therefore, each country has room to develop economic cooperation according to its potential.
For business actors, said Shinta, the most important thing now is to utilize the results of the cooperation that has been signed to provide added value for trade and investment between the two parties.
