Related to handing over the credential letter to the President of the Republic of Cabo Verde, Jorge Carlos de Almeida Fonseca, Indonesian Ambassador to Senegal and  Cabo Verde, Dindin Wahyudin made an official visit to Praia, the capital of Cabo Verde on Thursday (18/3).  On the occasion of the meeting, Ambassador Dindin conveyed warm greetings from President Joko Widodo to President Jorge Fonseca and he hopes to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various fields. Besides, he also expressed his appreciation for the support of the Cabo Verde Government for Indonesia in many international forums.

Ambassador Dindin had also an opportunity to meet Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cabo Verde, Rui Alberto de Figueiredo Soares who underlined that Cabo Verde is also an archipelagic country relying on the tourism industry. Thus, both countries can explore cooperation in many sectors related to the tourism sector. Ambassador Dindin also views that tourism cooperation as a great potential can be developed by the two countries.  Cabo Verde needs inter-island and inter-regional transportation facilities that can be met by Indonesia through aircraft produced by PT. Dirgantara Indonesia and the ferries produced by PT. PAL. Moreover, the meeting also discussed a sister-city cooperation plan between the Sal Island Regional Government and the Bali Regional Government as well as the exchange of best practices in the management of the tourism industry. Meanwhile, Ambassador Dindin also encouraged business people to visit each other, including to participate in business forums and trade shows. There are various business opportunities in Cabo Verde that Indonesian investors or exporters can explore, such as investment in hotels, spas, furniture made from bamboo, online applications for transportation services, Crude Palm Oil and food products.
