Taiwan Trade Center opened<\/p>\n
The Taiwan Trade Center in Jakarta was officially opened on
\nMonday that will fulfill the increasing need from both Taiwanese
\nand Indonesian entrepreneurs to exploit potential business
\nopportunities, in line with the recent improvement in trade and
\ninvestment between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The opening was marked by the cutting of a red ribbon by the
\nIndonesian Chamber of Commerce's economic cooperation committee
\nchairman Steve Sondakh, Taiwan External Trade Development Council
\n(TAITRA) president Yuen-Chuan Chao, representative of the Taipei
\nEconomic and Trade Office (TETO) in Indonesia, David Y.L. Lin and
\nJakarta-Taiwanese Businessmen's Club chairman Yung Fung Lee.<\/p>\n
There are some 1,000 Taiwanese businesses operating in
\nIndonesia, contributing to last year's US$5.97 billion two-way
\ntrade between the countries, an increase of some 35 percent from
\nthe previous year, Chao said.<\/p>\n
Taiwanese investments in Indonesia have accumulated to $12.98
\nbillion as of last year, making Taiwan among Indonesia's top-10
\nsources of foreign investment. Indonesia is now Taiwan's second
\nlargest investment destination after China.<\/p>\n
Some 300,000 Taiwanese tourists visit Indonesia every year,
\nthird after Japan and Australia.<\/p>\n
\"We hope the opening of the center will attract more Taiwanese
\nbusinesses to undertake trade and investment in Indonesia, vice
\nversa,\" Chao said.<\/p>\n
The Taiwan Trade Center, located on the 16th floor of the GKBI
\nBuilding on Jl. Jend. Sudirman, Central Jakarta, will promote
\nbilateral trade and investment opportunities between Indonesia
\nand Taiwan, and assist in establishing strategic business
\npartnerships between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The Taiwan Trade Center in Jakarta is TAITRA's 36th overseas
\noffice worldwide. -- JP<\/p>",
