Pakistan’s businessmen should take advantage from the large Indonesian market, an envoy said. Ambassador of Indonesia Iwan Suyudhie Amri, talking to the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Vice President Nasir Saeed, said bilateral trade needs to be enhanced as Pakistan and Indonesia are potential markets.
Ambassador Amri said Pakistan’s rice and meat have great demand in Indonesia and therefore Pakistan’s businessmen should avail this opportunity.
He said the LCCI is playing a significant role to strengthen the trade and economic relations between the two countries.
Saeed said the implementation of Pakistan-Indonesia preferential trade agreement will begin a new era of cooperation and serve as a foundation for enhanced economic and trade cooperation.
He said local businesses will increase exports to Southeast Asia’s largest economy under the preferential trade agreement.
“There is also a lot of scope for Indonesia to make investment in Pakistan. Indonesia has a fairly advanced petro-chemical, rubber, plywood, telecommunication and tourism industry,” he added.
