Indonesia is seeking the quick completion of the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA) to address the impact of US reciprocal tariffs, according to chairperson of the National Economic Council (DEN), Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. He made the remarks while receiving a visit from a delegation of the Committee on International Trade (INTA) of the European Parliament, led by Bernd Lange, in Jakarta on Tuesday (15/4). Pandjaitan noted that the EU is Indonesia's main trading and investment partner and has opened access for the country to a wider global market. The IEU-CEPA is a strategic agreement that aims to open market access, strengthen investment, and encourage sustainable economic growth. On a separate occasion, Trade Minister Budi Santoso met with the Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and French Nationals Abroad, Laurent Saint-Martin, to discuss accelerating the completion of the IEU-CEPA. During the meeting, Santoso sought France's support in encouraging the completion of the negotiations.Source : https://en.antaranews.com/amp/news/351857/ri-pushes-ieu-cepa-talks-completion-amid-us-tariffs (ICE GIACARTA)
