To this end, the delegation held intensive talks with the designated Indonesian partners, the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs (CMEA) in Indonesia and the national Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN). The agenda also included a dialogue with the leadership of the German-Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (EKONID).
The Indonesian partners were very well prepared. The programme is to be launched in short order to offer German companies the opportunity to work directly with Indonesian partners. The programme offers the Indonesian side the opportunity to further internationalise its SMEs and expand business cooperation with German companies. Ulrich Niemann, leader of the delegation and head of the division responsible for the programme at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, had the following to say: “We are glad to have gained Indonesia, with its globally important emerging economy, for our ‘Partnering in Business with Germany’ programme.”
