Bundescancer Olaf Scholz expects closer economic cooperation with Indonesia. “Indonesia and Germany are close partners and have the same values,” said the SPD politician on Monday on the first day of the Hanover Fair. Indonesia is presenting itself as a partner country at the world’s leading industrial show this year. “This will further strengthen our economic relationship,” said Scholz.
The Southeast Asian country with around 265 million inhabitants is experiencing a boom, for example in digital technologies, said the Chancellor. Indonesia is also banking on a restructuring of the energy supply. “The signs point to climate neutrality.” For companies, this is a challenge, but also an opportunity. Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo called for the restructuring of industry “for a better world” to be accelerated.
At the official opening of the trade fair on Sunday evening, Scholz said he was committed to ensuring that the free trade agreement between the EU and Indonesia soon took shape. This has been discussed for a long time.
