Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs,\nAirlangga Hartarto, announced that Indonesia has secured support from\nAustralia regarding its accession process to the Organisation for\nEconomic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and membership in the\nComprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership\n(CPTPP).<\/p>\n
This support was conveyed by the Australian Minister for Trade and\nTourism, Don Farrell, during a bilateral meeting with Airlangga on the\nsidelines of the OECD 2026 Ministerial Meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis meeting was not merely a formal encounter during the OECD 2026\nMinisterial Meeting, but rather a reinforcement of the commitment of\nboth nations to continue collaborating in response to global dynamics,\u201d\nAirlangga stated in a press release in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, both countries agreed to strengthen economic\ncooperation and strategic collaboration to face various evolving global\nchallenges. The discussions also addressed issues that had previously\narisen regarding Mexico\u2019s position in Indonesia\u2019s accession process.\nHowever, it was noted that the matter has been resolved through\ndiplomatic channels and is no longer an obstacle.<\/p>\n
In addition to supporting the OECD accession, Indonesia and Australia\ndiscussed several strategic economic cooperation agendas. In the\ncritical minerals sector, both nations agreed to synergise their\nrespective strengths, namely Indonesia\u2019s nickel reserves and Australia\u2019s\nsupply and expertise in the field of lithium.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a concrete step, Australia will soon provide a prospectus of\n\u2018shovel-ready\u2019 lithium projects to ensure they are accessible to\ninvestors,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/indonesia-secures-australian-support-for-oecd-accession-1780830754", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
