India-Indonesia to boast direct connectivity for impetus tourism
Yogyakarta: Nia Niscaya, Indonesia's Deputy Minister for Tourism, said direct flights will be operational from October this year from Delhi to Bali via Chennai, in a bid to spur the influx of tourists.
Speaking to ANI, the Minister acknowledged that improving connectivity between the two countries will give tourism a much-needed impetus.
"Highest growth in tourist numbers is from China, second from India. This year, the target we are given is a challenge due to the lack of connectivity. In October this year, a flight from Delhi to Bali via Chennai will be operational. This will help tourism flourish. While we wait for this to happen, we are using Singapore as a hub. We are giving out deals (on flights) to encourage people coming to Singapore to extend their stay to Indonesia. Many Indians come to Singapore, and we want to tap this."
She went on to say that the focus is now on increasing connectivity to Bali, given its popularity among tourists. However, operations will be expanded to other destinations in the future, she added.
Echoing similar sentiments, India's Ambassador to Indonesia, Pradeep Kumar Rawat said talks are being held between civil aviation authorities in both countries regarding a boost to direct connectivity.
"In terms of numbers, the growth of Indian tourists to Indonesia is among the highest. We must provide more connectivity. We are neighbours, we share a maritime boundary. It is important for us to build direct connectivity to bring more tourists. We do have to enable framework in civil aviation ministry. Authorities in both countries are in talks for the same (direct flights). In my view, this will encourage tourism and low-cost airlines can follow suit," he opined.
This year marks the completion of 70 years of bilateral ties between India and Indonesia. To commemorate the occasion, the two officials inaugurated a photo exhibition at the Prambanan temple complex in the city, depicting the journey of the two countries over the last 70 years.
On the sidelines of the event, Rawat reiterated that key industries, including tourism and security, need to be strengthened in collaboration.
"We are close in our hearts, we now need to become close in mind also to make our relations more concrete," he added.

Indonesia, Argentine form WGTI to intensify trade cooperation

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia and Argentine have established a Working Group on Trade and Investment (WGTI) in an initial endeavor to boost bilateral trade cooperation between both nations.
"At this forum, we could exchange information. Both these countries are located far from one another, as one is in America, while the other lies in Southeast Asia. Hence, they do not know each other well, and not much information has been disseminated," Ni Made Ayu Marthini, the Trade Ministry's bilateral trade director, noted here on Wednesday.
The working group will act as a forum for communication, promotion, and facilities for the two countries, she explained.
The two governments have encouraged businesspersons from both nations to take part in different business events organized in both nations.
When the three functions work, WGTI will issue recommendations regarding future activities.
The recommendations will serve as a basis for establishing a free trade agreement (FTA) - Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
For a trade agreement with Argentine, Indonesia must initially forge multilateral cooperation with the economic and political block Mercosur that groups Brazil, Venezuela, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentine.
Argentine President Mauricio Macri, accompanied by First Lady Juliana Awada, paid a state visit to Indonesia on Wednesday.
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and First Lady Iriana welcomed Macri and Awada at the Bogor Palace before holding a one-on-one meeting.

Toyota ready to invest IDR28.3 trillion: minister
27th Jun 2019 22:18
Minister of Industry, Airlangga Hartarto. (ANTARA / Bayu Prasetyo / aa)
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Industry Airlangga Hartarto said that the Japanese automotive company, Toyota, is ready to disburse funds amounting to Rp28.3 trillion over the next four years.
The Toyota investment plan is related to the new government policies, which encourage the development of electric vehicles.
"Well, that will be listed in the two government's regulations. First, regarding the acceleration of electric-based vehicles, and the second is regarding activities related to PPnBM for electric-based industries, which include hybrids," Airlangga said in a statement received in Jakarta on Thursday.
According to Airlangga, the PPnBM will be zero if the vehicles produced are based on electricity and the emissions are the lowest.
President of Toyota Motor Corporation, Akio Toyoda, in the one-on-one meeting session, said that Toyota will develop electric-based vehicles, especially hybrids, in Indonesia.
The Minister of Industry said that the Ministry of Industry together with one of the Japanese automotive manufacturers had conducted a study of the development and use of electric vehicles. This activity also involved six universities in Indonesia.
"From the results of the study, hybrids are seen as an alternative because of the well to wheel, where the ecosystem generation of energy is also seen, starting from primary energy to the driving of the automotive," he said.
The Ministry of Industry itself encourages the development of domestic electric vehicle technology, including the making of fuel cells.

Indonesia, South Korea boost cooperation in industrial sectors
27th Jun 2019 18:17
(File Photo) - Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto (first right) . (ANTARA)
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia is striving to deepen cooperation with South Korea in industrial sectors, with the objective of stepping up trade and investment.
In a bid to open broader opportunities for cooperation, Indonesian Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto held a meeting with Korean Trade, Industry, and Energy Minister Sung Yun Mo in Seoul, Wednesday (June 26).
Hartarto noted that the meeting was a follow up to the leaders' get-together in September 2017.
By and large, he remarked that Indonesia and South Korea's business and economic sectors had made significant progress. Strategic cooperation had been implemented in areas, including the joint task forces to promote economic cooperation.
"We have the Indonesia-Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement in 2019 that targets bilateral trade of up to US$30 billion by 2022," he noted in his statement, Thursday.
Currently, the Industry Ministry has reached a total of 10 international cooperation agreements with its partners in South Korea that include cooperation between units within the ministry and government institutions in Korea.
"In general, the level of implementation of cooperation between the Industry Ministry and partners in the Republic of Korea is very good, specifically nine out of the 10 agreements have been implemented," Hartarto emphasized.
During the meeting, an agreement was also inked for continued cooperation between Indonesia's Ministry of Industry and the National Research Council for Economic, Humanities, and Social Sciences (NRC) of South Korea.
The agreement is related to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation for Industry 4.0 signed by both nations in September 2018.
Hartarto expounded that the continued cooperation will encourage the placement of technical experts, including organizing the implementation of Industry 4.0 in the five industrial sectors of automotive, food and beverage, textile, chemical, and electronic products.
"As a follow up to the MoU, we signed an agreement on the technical cooperation framework with NRC," he stated.
Hartarto also spoke at length on the development of industrial investment from South Korea in Indonesia. For instance, the POSCO steel company has invested in the past four years to produce three million tons of steel from the blast furnace process to the slab.
"We are discussing the 10 million tons steel roadmap in Cilegon for 2025 and then on building derivative industries with products, such as CRC (cold roll coil)," he pointed out.
Meanwhile, in the chemical industry, Lotte Chemicals has achieved the first milestone by building a plant with US$4 billion of investment. The plant is expected to become operational in 2020.
"Meanwhile, we are also in discussions with Hyundai Motor Corporation on its investment plan in Indonesia. In principle, we provide support for this investment," Airlangga remarked.
Furthermore, the Industry Ministry continues to support deeper collaboration in five industrial sectors to support Making Indonesia 4.0, the country's fourth Industrial Revolution-oriented strategy with the aspiration of emerging among the world’s 10 largest economies by 2030.
The five key technologies that support this vision are: the internet of things, artificial intelligence, human machine interface, robotics and sensor technology, and 3D printing
"One of the considerations is the Indonesian mobile market that amounts to 60 million. In addition, the digital economy is highly developed in Indonesia, with the support of the younger generation," Hartarto added. Related news: UI team bags Platinum Prize at Asian Students' Venture Forum

The vehicles types in production, he added, include SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and sedans. Hyundai will market 47% of its production to the domestic market and the remaining 53% to the export market.
The Government will encourage investment in the electric vehicle industry by providing tax holiday facilities. During his visit to HMC, Airlangga had the opportunity to test Hyundai Nexo, a hydrogen-fueled car and observed its technology.
Airlangga went on to say that the location of Hyundai factory is still unconfirmed. However, it would be able to absorb a workforce of 3,500 people.
In the meantime, the Ministry’s Director General for Metals, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics Harjanto has said that Hyundai revealed its plans to build factories in the Southeast Asian region, with Indonesia as production base, at the beginning of January 2018.
“Indonesia has nickel ore which can be used for the production of lithium-ion batteries, an important component of electric vehicles,” Harjanto said, adding that some of the HMC total production capacity in Indonesia will be allocated for producing electric vehicles which most of them will be for Southeast Asia and Australia export markets, and the rest for domestic needs.
Meanwhile, Minister of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MoTIE) of South Korea Sung Yun Mo has stated that strengthening cooperation between Indonesia and South Korea covers many industrial sectors, not only the steel and chemical industry sector but will also target the automotive industry sector. The investment, he added, is critical in strengthening the manufacturing structure and improving industrial competitiveness in Indonesia.
“The automotive cooperation also opens opportunities for component suppliers. With a large number of needs on the vehicle component, it can also strengthen small-medium industries in Indonesia. This cooperation is very meaningful because it will increase competitiveness and contribute to a healthier industrial ecosystem,” Sung Yun Mo said.

Indonesia selects France-based Thales to build 150 Gbps satellite
Norman Harsono / The Jakarta Post - Tue, July 2, 2019 / 01:03 pm
Thales Alenia Space, a Franco-Italian aerospace manufacturer, announced on Monday that it had been selected to build “Satria”, a 150 Gigabits per second (Gbps) satellite.
The project was targeted to be completed in 2022, when satellite operator Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN) – which runs the Satria project on behalf of the Communications and Information Ministry – is slated to launch it into space.
Once operational, Satria will beam internet connectivity to 149,000 public buildings around the country, 87 percent of which will comprise schools, clinics and government offices, located outside Java.
“We are particularly honored to provide to PSN for the ministry’s first VHTS [very high throughput satellite] telecommunication satellite, which will be the most powerful one over the Asian region,” said Thales chief executive officer (CEO) Jean Loic Galle in a statement.
He added that Thales would not only build the satellite but also construct two control centers and train PSN engineers to operate the machine.
Thales, however, did not reveal the total cost of the project except that it was part of the ministry’s Rp 21.4 trillion (US$1.5 billion) budget to build, launch and operate Satria for 15 years.
PSN president director Adi Rahman Adiwoso said in the statement that the Satria satellite was part of the company and the ministry's goal “to provide communities with equal access [to the internet].”
The satellite is expected to boost internet penetration above the 64.6 percent recorded last year, according to the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association. (bbn)

F&B contribution to GDP steadily increases
Shoppers crowd a food and beverage section at a supermarket in Tangerang, Banten. The growth of the beverage and food industry slowed to 7.9 percent in 2018 from 9.23 percent in 2017 (Antara/Lucky.R)
The contribution of the food and beverage (F&B) industry to gross domestic product (GDP) increased steadily over the past four years in spite of the decrease of its growth last year, according to the Indonesian Food and Beverage Producers Association (GAPMMI).
“The F&B industry’s contribution to GDP increased to 6.25 percent last year from 6.14 percent in 2017, 5.97 percent in 2016, 5.61 percent in 2015 and 5.32 percent in 2014,” said GAPMMI chairman Adhi Lukman .
Meanwhile, the industry’s growth reached its highest level of 9.49 percent in 2014 before slowing down to 7.54 percent in 2015. The growth increased again to 8.33 percent in 2016 and to 9.23 percent in 2017 before slowing down again to 7.91 percent in 2018.
Adhi told The Jakarta Postthat 2018’s slowing down of the F&B industry’s growth was caused by the decline of palm oil production and prices.
The Industry Ministry's agroindustry director general, Abdul Rochim, said that in the first quarter of this year, the F&B industry’s contribution to GDP already reached 6.35 percent.
“The quarterly contribution of the F&B sector to the whole non-oil and non-gas industry was 31.6 percent,” he said.
Adhi said the country’s F&B production increased 6.77 percent in the first quarter of this year.
The Industry Ministry has projected that annual growth of the F&B industry will likely reach 9 percent in 2019 if the realization of investment in this sector reaches Rp 63 trillion.
In the first quarter alone, investment in the F&B sector rose to Rp 14.6 trillion from Rp 12.5 trillion in the same period of last year, Abdul said.(syk)

Would like to add.... article mentions 2017, the total trade was 18 billion USD between the two countries.
According to comtrade, Trade in 2017 was around 20 billion USD and was nearly 25 billion USD in 2018.
In 2016, the total stood around 15 billion, so this is 2 years running now where 5 billion added each year approx.
For 2018, comtrade reports 19.7 billion in exports from INA to IND....and 4.8 billion USD exports from IND to INA.
This is just merchandise (goods) trade only. Service trade is also increasing (through tourism, IT etc) between two countries, but not much confirmed figures for those yet.
So definitely 50 billion merchandise target has good grounding and not all that ambitious. As required increase to meet objective is around (50 - 25)/7 = 3.5 per year ...and India is in that crucial zone in gdp per capita bulking (got to 2000 USD per capita nominal and looking to drive quick as possible to 3000, 4000 per capita).

Indonesia GDP is around 4000 US dollar per capita with US dollar value around 14,400 rupiah (in which now stands at 14,100), so far we managed to get a good results from focused on quality growth and equality of wealth distribution between Rural and Urban community and thus creating middle class population among both urban and rural society . Indonesia lately had a good prospect for IT and startup services, in which had penetrated much of our rural and urban middle class. India goods and services had a niche market here, especially in IT sector, the likes of Go jek, Tokopedia, Bukalapak and many other startups giant in Indonesia using so many India IT products or even bought their whole company to sustain their increasing complex operation.

New Indonesian-Japanese deal to be signed in late 2019
- News Desk
The Jakarta Post
The Indonesian and Japanese governments are now working to complete the countries’ new economic partnership agreement, which is expected to be signed late this year.
A commitment to accelerate negotiations over the General Review Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (GR-IJEPA) was made at a meeting between President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Osaka last week.
"A confirmation by the leaders of both countries to complete the GR-IJEPA is urgent as a symbol for the importance of trade relations,” said Trade Minister Engartiasto Lukita, who accompanied Jokowi to the meeting, in a statement received on Wednesday.
During the meeting, the two leaders had demanded the delegates accelerate the completion of the protocol amendment.
Apart from discussing the continuity of GR-IJEPA negotiations, Jokowi and Abe also expressed their commitment to support the completion of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) this year.
The RCEP involves 10 ASEAN member countries, plus China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and covers 38 percent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 25 percent of global trade.
Japan and Indonesia had met in late June and announced a number of recommendations toward the completion of GR-IJEPA negotiations, Enggartiasto said, adding that for Indonesia, final deal of GR-IJEPA was important amid global trade frictions.
The GR-IJEPA negotiations cover various issues, including those on trade in goods and services, employment, investments, a country’s goods of origin, intellectual property rights and climate change, the minister added.
“Apart from opening more access for trade in goods and services, the IJEPA will also open the way for cooperation in the manufacturing industry sector," he added. (bbn)
