As two countries with major economic powers in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Iran and Indonesia have many advantages from the expansion of trade and investment relations, as well as the potential for infrastructure collaboration between the two countries.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by the Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Arsjad Rasjid, when receiving a courtesy visit of the President of Iran, Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, in Jakarta (24\/5\/2023).<\/p>\n
Arsjad said the potential for cooperation with Iran is quite significant. Iran has abundant natural energy resources, infrastructure expertise and a strong manufacturing base that complement Indonesia's growing consumer market and growing middle class demand.<\/p>\n
\"Indonesia can help Iran and become a strategic business partner in expanding entry into ASEAN,\" he said.<\/p>\n
According to Arsjad, President Ebrahim Raisi's visit marked a milestone in strengthening the partnership between the two countries. This visit will pave the way for new developments, strategic projects, and generate cooperation between the two governments and the business sector.<\/p>\n
\"This is very relevant at this time, when our region must develop rapidly with a changing global economy through the development of connectivity to continue to grow,\" said Arsjad who is also the Chair of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (BAC).<\/p>\n
Indonesia, he continued, recognizes the important role of business in opening new doors for alternative partners around the world, including Iran.<\/p>\n
\"In terms of trade, we can explore opportunities to increase exports and imports of goods and services, also in several sectors of Iran's strengths such as energy, petrochemicals, agriculture and tourism. And Indonesia can offer cooperation in leading sectors such as automotive, electronics and textiles\".<\/p>\n
He said, Indonesia and ASEAN could offer investment to Iran in the infrastructure, renewable energy and manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n
\"We also offer an attractive consumer market, skilled workforce, and a favorable investment climate which has attracted the attention of many foreign investors,\" said Arsjad.<\/p>\n
He also said that for infrastructure development, Iran and Indonesia could explore joint projects that could increase connectivity and trade between regions. Physical projects such as building a transportation network; highways, railways and ports, as well as digital infrastructure, e-commerce and fintech.<\/p>\n
