Jakarta, March 28, 2016 (Antara)- Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek's visit to Indonesia along with 31 businessmen in late February holds significance for enhancing Indonesian-Czech cooperation and partnership established 23 years ago, following Czechoslovakia's breakup into Czech Republic and Slovakia.
During a bilateral meeting in Jakarta on Feb. 25, Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi and Zaoralek held discussions on the two countries' cooperation in five priority areas: trade, investment, tourism, education, and people-to-people contact.
"Bilateral relations between Indonesia and the Czech Republic, especially in the economic field, are progressing well and continue to develop. The two countries, however, still need to optimize their potential and opportunities," Minister Marsudi stated.
Marsudi and Zaoralek discussed bilateral business relations and the "removing of trade barriers," Czech News Agency (CTK) said while quoting Zaoralek's Tweet.
