The Indonesian Embassy in Khartoum Takes Part at the 38th International Fair of Khartoum to increase trade volume between Indonesia and Sudan

Indonesian representatives in foreign countries have duties to continuously carry out economic diplomacy and increase Indonesia's trade with accredited countries. One of the ways done by the Indonesian Embassy in Khartoum was by attending the International Fair of Khartoum (IFK) last Friday (22/1). The IFK 2021 exhibition is a step done by the Government of Sudan to collaborate and promote many potentials of Sudan to friendly countries that are expected to be able to push the economic recovery of Sudan.

During the event of IFK, there was also a Business Forum held to facilitate business contacts of the participants and promote the potential for trade and investment cooperation in Sudan. Indonesian Ambassador to Sudan, Rossalis R. Adenan explained that the political relations between Indonesia and Sudan have been running well for a long time, but it has not been reflected  in the economic  cooperation because the current trade volume between the two countries is still far under its real potential. It needs joint efforts to continuously  increase trade and investment cooperation of both countries.

The Indonesian Embassy in Khartoum keeps on  encouraging actively the business actors of the two countries, including by facilitating business contacts between business actors of the two countries to explore  various opportunities for cooperation. The Indonesian Embassy in Khartoum also asked for support related to the plan of establishing the Indonesia-Sudan Business Council (ISBC) as a communication platform for business players of the two countries that have been friendly for a long time.
