Indonesian General Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai Officially Established - BCA Sekuritas

The Indonesian General Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai was officially established on Friday (27/3) during the inaugural Overseas Investment and Comprehensive Service Exhibition. According to several officials, the establishment of the Indonesian General Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai not only marks the official launch of a new service and cooperation platform but also promotes exchanges and cooperation between companies on both sides to a more institutionalised and normalised stage. This will provide pragmatic support for more Shanghai companies to go global and utilise the exhibition platform to explore the Indonesian market and the broader Southeast Asian market. At the event, Adi Harsono, Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Regional Cooperation Committee of the Indonesian Business Association, delivered the keynote speech titled “From the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway to People-to-People Bonds: China-Indonesia Cooperation and Future Investment Opportunities”. He elaborated on how major projects have highlighted the deep connections between the peoples of both countries and demonstrated the great trends and potential of China-Indonesia cooperation shifting from “hard connectivity” to “soft connectivity”, and from project-based partnerships to broader ecological cooperation. Berlianto Situngkir, the Consul General of Indonesia in Shanghai, stated that he remains committed to promoting cooperation between Indonesia and eastern China regions in the fields of economy, trade, culture, and corporate exchanges. Maulana Wiga, Head of the Investment Department of the Business Association under the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, also delivered a speech focusing on deepening sustainable development between China and Indonesia. He emphasised that sustainable development is an important direction in advancing and strengthening industrial cooperation between the two countries.
