Jakarta (ANTARA News) -The Ministry of Trade will try to boost the country`s exports to China by having 80 Indonesian companies take part in an international exhibition, the China Asean Expo, in Naning, Guangxi, China in October 2009.<\/p>\n
Thus, at least 80 Indonesian companies will be taking part in the exhibition, said Bachrul Chairi, Head of the National Export Development Agency (BPEN) after signing a cooperation agreement with the secretary general of the Guangzhi province Communist Party in Jakarta Monday.<\/p>\n
He said that right now only 65 companies had confirmed participation in the exhibition, whereas actually 110 booths had been prepared for the Indonesian participants.<\/p>\n
Bachrul said that at the sixth exhibition in Naning, Indonesia expects to secure transactions worth 16 million US dollars, up 15 percent than last year`s.<\/p>\n
Bachrul said however, the value of the transactions is actually not the main target of the Indonesian participation in the exhibition. He said that in last year`s exhibition it was not the transactions worth 14 million US dollars that Indonesia was after, but the three Chinese companies` investment in Kalimantan.<\/p>\n
In this exhibition, the Indonesian delegation will have one city take part as a City of Charm, namely Kutai, Kertanegara in East Kalimantan.<\/p>\n
On the occasion, Minister of Trade Mari Elka Pangestu said the Guangzhi province in the southern part of China has so many similarities with Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\"So it would be of no use if the products that we will being there are the same. We will really find out what products we should bring there,\" he said.<\/p>\n
She said that some products which the people of Guangzhi will positively like, are fresh fruits, wooden products, farm produce, rattan, furniture, bird`s nests, spa products, and jewelry.
