A number of companies from Indonesia collected trade transactions worth IDR215.9 billion from the China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning, Guangxi Autonomous Region, on November 27-30 2020.

"Indonesia's participation in this year's exhibition is quite successful," said the Indonesian Ambassador to China Djauhari Oratmangun in Beijing, Thursday.

In the annual event which has been held for the 17th time, Indonesia occupies two platforms, one each for trade commodities and tourism culture.

"The transaction value is accumulated from direct trade, business agreements, and MoUs," he said.

According to the Ambassador, Indonesia's participation in the 2020 CAExpo is a commitment to continue to encourage increased cooperation between ASEAN and China.

The event was opened by Chinese President Xi Jinping who gave a speech via video channel on Friday (27/11).

President Joko Widodo also delivered his remarks by saying that CAExpo is an important platform to promote trade and investment in Asia as well as a model for good cooperation between China and ASEAN member countries.

President Jokowi also hopes that these activities can improve post-pandemic regional economic recovery and deepen ASEAN-China cooperation in the fields of trade, tourism, investment, and others. (Antaranews)
