KDEI aids export to Taiwan

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Commerce and Economy Body (KDEI)
has launched various programs to help boost Indonesian exports to
Taiwan, KDEI said in a statement on Thursday.

The programs include promotion of Indonesian products in
Taiwan, providing greater information and expanding export
commodities.

KDEI said there was plenty of room to improve trade relations
between the two countries.

In the first quarter of 2001, the value of Indonesia's exports
to Taiwan reached US$832.52 million, while imports from Taiwan
stood at $502.04 million.

Exports included metal ore, coal and shoes.

KDEI also said that it had arranged for Indonesian exporters
to take part in an economic exhibition initiated by the China
External Trade Development Council (CETRA), where as many as 35
countries participated. (10)
