TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As part of its endeavors to step up business cooperation with Africa, Indonesia has decided to host the Indonesia-Africa Forum or IAF 2018 on April 10-11, 2018 at Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), Bali.
The forum, which will be attended by 550 people from the business society, high-level government officials, stakeholders, and other private sectors, will explore ways to establish concrete economic cooperation and expand business networks.
In 1955, Indonesia also became the host of the Asia-Africa Conference, which was aimed at building global solidarity in opposing colonialism and seeking economic and cultural cooperation among newly-independent countries.
The conference shed light for the advancement of cooperation between Asian and African nations through initiatives such as the Non-Alignment Movement and the New Asian African Strategic Partnership (NAASP).
The 2018 Indonesia-Africa Forum is expected to tighten Indonesia's economic ties with Africa and aims at exploring various economic opportunities, cementing technical cooperation, as well as enhancing the prevailing partnership between both sides.
