Jakarta, Sept 18 , 2015(Antara)- Following a five-day trip by President Joko
Widodo (Jokowi) to three wealthy Arab countries - Saudi Arabia, the
United Arab Emirates and Qatar - the government is keen to enact
agreements signed with those nations.
Saudi Arabia is
Indonesia's largest trading partner in the Middle East, while the UAE is
the main destination for Indonesian exports in the Middle East, and
Qatar is the largest investor among Middle Eastern countries in
Indonesia, including for its portfolio investments.
The visit from Sept. 11 to 15 was aimed not only at opening greater
access for Indonesian commodities in Middle Eastern markets, but also at
encouraging investors from the three countries to make direct
investments in Indonesia, particularly in infrastructure, maritime and
energy sectors.
Jokowi has assigned Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said
to follow up on the agreements in investment, economics and investment
cooperation signed between Indonesia and the three Arab nations.
