This\npartnership is expected to present real, measurable benefits and provide\ncertainty for the business world in developing trade and investment\nbetween the two countries,\u201d she said during the launch, as quoted on the\nministry\u2019s official website on Thursday, February 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership covers priority sectors, including trade, services,\nthe digital economy, investment, supply chain resilience, thegreen\ntransition, sustainable development, infrastructure, transport, energy\ntransformation, and human capital development. These areas are expected\nto support inclusive and sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister Roro emphasized that the EGP is designed to bridge\ngovernment-to-government agreements with business-to-business\ntransactions, creating a more predictable regulatory environment to\nencourage long-term investment.<\/p>\n<p>She also highlighted the importance of open market access, regulatory\ncertainty, policy predictability, and legal guarantees to support\nbusiness expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The launch also raised the prospect of a Comprehensive Economic\nPartnership Agreement (CEPA). While Indonesia currently benefits from\nthe UK\u2019s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), a CEPA would\nprovide a more permanent framework for market access.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCEPA is very important to maintain and increase the value of trade\nbetween the two countries sustainably. Through future CEPA negotiations,\nit is hoped that it can open wider market access, encourage increased\ntrade performance, strengthen regulatory certainty, and create a more\ncomprehensive and long-term cooperation framework,\u201d Roro said.<\/p>\n<p>British Minister for the Indo-Pacific Seema Malhotra noted that the\nexisting GBP 4 billion trade and investment relationship provides a\nstrong foundation for the partnership. \u201cThe UK and Indonesia share the\nbelief that growth must be sustainable and inclusive. The success of\nthis partnership will be measured by real, measurable, and concrete\nbenefits for the business world and the people in both countries,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Following the launch, Deputy Minister Roro held a bilateral meeting\nwith Minister Malhotra to discuss Indonesia\u2019s accession to the\nComprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership\n(CPTPP). The UK\u2019s support is considered an important endorsement for\nIndonesia as it navigates the accession process. ***<\/p>",
