Speaking at the launching ceremony, Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Heri Akhmadi said the pandemic hugely affects Indonesian and Japanese economies. Therefore, Indonesia needs to reconsider its strategy and open up a space for new opportunities, not only in trade and investment.
Akhmadi also confirmed that new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will pay an official visit to Indonesia this month, giving both sides a chance to further boost coordination in various areas, particularly in economy and trade.
