London is one of the world’s global centers for mobilizing finance, and I think it will be really ashamed if we don't manage to strengthen relations in that area, including drawing on London's real strength in great finance and Islamic finance. That’s the biggest center international finance outside the Islamic world itself,” said Ambassador Jenkins.

Ambassador Jenkins added that the UK also wants to strengthen cooperation in the tourism sector because British citizens ate the biggest contributors to Indonesia's foreign exchange in the tourism sector compared to South Korea and China. (VOI / NK / AHM)
