Indonesia for tapping true trade potential

Indonesia Charge d’affaires Rahmat Hindiarta Kusuma has stressed that time is ripe for collaboration with Pakistan to push bilateral trade to levels that can match true potential. Speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Tuesday, the envoy underlined the importance of forging partnerships as Indonesia was the largest economy in Southeast Asia with stable economic growth. “Indonesia, with a GDP (gross domestic product) exceeding $1 trillion, is the world’s 16th largest economy and is projected to become the seventh largest by 2030,” he remarked. He highlighted that Indonesia’s economic growth had remained stable around 5% annually over the last two decades. The diplomat stressed the need for stronger liaison between business communities of the two countries and reaping mutual benefits from each other’s potential and experience.
