During 3 day long Expo a series of events also were held such as Seminar on Trade and Investment, “Enhancing Trade and Investment Relations between Indonesia and India”, Seminar on Tourism, B2B Meetings for Trade and Investments, Table Top Meetings for Travel and Tourism Industry.

 

While speaking to media at Expo Mr. Saut Siringoringo said, “Expo Indonesia 2017 has seen a remarkable incease in number of participating exhibitors. Indonesia and India enjoy a high level mutual beneficial relations. Implementation of ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (AIFTA) has contributed a lot to increase the trade relations between the two countries. We are also looking forward to having more Indian companies / businessmen wanting to export Indian products and services to Indonesia. The average value of bilateral trade between Indonesia and India in last six years have been reaching to around US $16 billion.”

 

INDONESIA EXPO 2017 is also expected to further boost Indian tourists to Indonesia beyond Bali. So far the absence of direct flight between Indonesia & India had considerably discouraged the increase of Indian tourist to visit Indonesia and vice versa. However, now we have two Airlines – Garuda Airlines & Air Asia operating direct flights between two countries.  

 

Mr. Saut Siringoringo further said, “India is one of the most important engines of the world’s economic growth. The “Make in India” move is considered as a breakthrough to open the country’s economy for investment. Indonesian companies are expected to invest in India to strengthen ties between both countries. The business partnership in sectors such as financing, automotive and textile must be increased and strengthened as both countries have such huge markets in those sectors.”
