Series of bilateral engagements comes at a time of uncertainty in global politics
Singapore and Indonesia have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening economic ties at a high-level bilateral meeting held in Singapore on June 15.
The 15th Singapore-Indonesia Six Bilateral Economic Working Groups Ministerial Meeting or 6WG MM was co-chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong and Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto.
The meeting is a key economic platform between Singapore and Indonesia to advance economic cooperation in six areas. These are namely the Batam, Bintan and Karimun (BBK) region and other special economic zones, investments, manpower, transport, agribusiness and tourism.
This latest bilateral meeting comes after the two countries signed three deals on clean energy and sustainable development during a visit by Singapore's Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology Tan See Leng to Jakarta on June 13.
