South Korea has formed a special team to focus on boosting economic and investment cooperation with Indonesia in response to a request from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.<\/p>\n
The request was conveyed Wednesday morning in Seoul to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak through a letter handed over by Indonesia's Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Rajasa. Yudhoyono wanted to invite South Korea to take part in Indonesia's programs to support its 2025 economic development visions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI handed over the letter to President Lee this morning, which was cordially welcomed because President Lee views that Indonesia [and South Korea] have more than an ordinary relationship, but a special relationship tied by a close friendship.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs proof, President Lee has formed a special team,\u201d Hatta said in Seoul as quoted by kompas.com.<\/p>\n
He added the team would officially inform Indonesia of projects it would prefer as part of the newly refreshed cooperation in Bali this April.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Indonesian government will also immediately form a special team to follow up on this agreed acceleration of investment cooperation with South Korea, so that we can ensure the realization,\u201d Hatta said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/s-korea-forms-special-team-to-boost-investment-in-ri-1297918032", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
