The business mission included participation in the European – Indonesian Business Forum and TRADE EXPO INDONESIA exhibition, company visits in Jakarta and productive B2B meetings with selected Indonesian counterparts.
It was highlighted during the meeting that the collaboration between Lithuanian and Indonesian enterprises, initiated last October, has been progressing remarkably well, with the anticipation of signing several more cooperation agreements in the near future.
Mr. Zigmantas Dargevičius, the President of Kaunas Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, reiterated the organization’s commitment to exploring diverse cooperation prospects aimed at strengthening economic bonds between two nations. He emphasized the warm invitation to Indonesian business delegations, affirming their always – welcome status in Lithuania.
