The event saw the attendance of CEOs of several conglomerates and business associations from such key sectors as garment and textiles, food, and transport.

Minister Marsudi urged Indonesian enterprises to take part in spreading the government’s policies and programmes on economic development, which can help deepen the nation’s people-to-people diplomacy and prepare for the establishment of an ASEAN economic community this year.

Indonesia prioritises promoting their products overseas via different channels and facilitating the private sector’s access to new market.

Representative agencies at foreign countries will be a great source of support for local businesses to strengthen their performance in the outside world.
