Indonesia and Exhibition

I like Indonesia and Indonesians very much, especially my wife, who is an Indonesian citizen. As a project manager, I recently visited the internationally famous Hannover Industrial Exhibition.

During the visit I noticed from the information on offer that there was only one exhibitor from Indonesia. From other Asian countries -- Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, China -- I found many exhibitors, along with government-run information desks.

I wonder if Indonesian industry is unaware of the importance of this exhibition or is not interested in presenting their companies in Europe.

Indonesia's participation in this exhibition would certainly help increase its economic relations with Europe.
