Deputy Minister of Trade Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri emphasized that export market diversification is a government strategy to expand trade reach, not merely a response to United States President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariff policy. The deputy minister affirmed that the government continues to expand cooperation through several trade agreements, such as the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with various countries. The deputy minister highlighted the Indonesia-Canada CEPA as an important agreement, noting its potential to provide access to a market of 51 million people and a gross domestic product (GDP) worth US$2.2 trillion for halal-certified products.  The government is also pushing for the completion of a trade agreement with the European Union, with a gross domestic product value of US$18.6 trillion, and is open to environmentally friendly products from Indonesia. She stated that Indonesia's commitment to the Paris Agreement also supports this cooperation since it is seeking to expand the exports of sustainable products such as furniture, textiles, and new and renewable energy technology.Source : https://en.antaranews.com/news/352953/market-diversification-pursued-to-expand-export-reach-ministry?utm_source=antaranews&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=top_news (ICE GIACARTA)
