The visit of Saudi Arabian Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday evening (April 11^th) was welcomed by the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Indonesia, Usama Al-Syu'aiby by hosting a dinner at his residence in Jakarta. Vice Chairman of the Middle East Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Oki Muhammad Bawazeer explained that the visit of the Saudi Arabian delegation to Indonesia this time is the second one. Because, the first official delegation visit was that after King Salman visited Indonesia. Oki Muhammad Bawazeer hopes that this is the first step that can be followed-up by other trade delegations in the business sector.

“The first official delegation's visit was that after King Salman visited Indonesia. I think this is a "kick off" or a one step forward that hopefully in the future can be followed-up by trade delegations in various business sectors,” Oki Muhammad Bawazeer said.

Oki Muhammad Bawazeer added that before King Salman's visit to Indonesia last year, the trade value between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia was only about Rp48.3 trillion. But after the visit, the trade value between the two countries increased almost three times to reach 124.2 trillion rupiah. (VOI/Egi/ Trans by Rezha)
