Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Swedish government has decided to open a trade representative office in Jakarta to expand cooperation between the two countries.
"Swedish Trade Office will be opened on August 1, as an indication of Swedish increasing interest in Indonesia," Swedish ambassador to Indonesia Ewa Polano said in Jakarta Tuesday.
He said the five staff members of the new trade office will closely cooperate with the Swedish embassy in Jakarta.
