To support this effort, the annual event of Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) returns in 2022 with a hybrid concept where the biggest trade show in Indonesia will be conducted as both offline and online. Infrastructures, constructions, and government buildings will have to meet with the latest enabling technologies which are critical to supporting the evolution of the smart city. For the people of Hong Kong, may our bilateral relations continuously flourish and be mutually beneficial for both parties in the years to come. The World Bank predicts Indonesia's economic growth will be at 5.1 percent for 2022, in contrast with the slowdown of global economic growth at 2.9 percent. The system has proven to ensure the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. The transition to an endemic phase would also allow travellers especially business community to plan and resume their businesses in Indonesia. Indonesia is now open for travellers to enjoy some of the best world tourist destinations. With this background, Indonesia and Hong Kong certainly can build a strong optimism that this is a perfect momentum for our economic recovery. I hereby thank the Government of Hong Kong for their relentless efforts to collaborate as we look forward for stronger labour protections to further guarantee the workers’ rights in the city. Every day, I am surrounded by the atmosphere of friendship between Indonesia and Hong Kong, touched by the stories of friendship between our two peoples, and inspired by the mission of building our ever-lasting friendship. Indonesia – Hong Kong long established close economic relationship continues on a positive trajectory, in 2021 Hong Kong contribute 14,8% of total foreign direct investment in Indonesia valued at US$4,6 billion, this put Hong Kong in the 2nd place of Indonesia’s FDI source. Indonesia believes the global pandemic requires joint and inclusive efforts in finding a way out or solutions for recovery.

Along With Its Own Fight for Freedom, India Also Supported ... (The Wire)

Through its diplomatic activism, New Delhi helped re-construct a world in which European imperialism was illegal, illegitimate and no longer tolerated.

In the following months, talks between Indonesia and the Netherlands resumed and they agreed to schedule a Round Table Conference to facilitate the unconditional transfer of power to Indonesia. In January 1949 India launched a major initiative to support Indonesian independence and hosted a regional conference at the ministerial level in favour of its cause. The conference closed in record time, putting forth a recommendation to the UNSC that detained Indonesian leaders be released and that the government of free Indonesia be restored. Close to midnight on December 18, Dutch forces launched a military offensive from land, sea, and air against the ill-equipped defenders of free Indonesia. On July 21, 1947, the Dutch launched a large-scale offensive in the country. For the sake of peace, Indonesia signed an agreement to this effect aboard the USS Renville. The Dutch sought to reclaim their possession over Indonesia and a re-colonisation conflict unfurled in the country from 1945-1949. A strong Indonesian delegation attended it, and, with the special efforts of Nehru and his pilot friend Biju Patnaik, Indonesian Prime Minister Sutan Sjharir was flown and personally received by Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Lesser known is their shared story of the 1940s, where India, in the lead-up to its independence, supported and campaigned for Indonesia’s right to its own. Through one of its first forays into global diplomacy, India under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru played a significant role in the efforts that pressured the Dutch to withdraw from their pursuit of restoring empire in Indonesia. This mission of transferring Indonesia from its Japanese colonisers to the Dutch contradicted the anti-imperialist sentiment Indians shared with Indonesia. Fifty-two days after the Sukarno-Hatta announcement, Indian troops arrived in Batavia (today’s Jakarta) as part of Mountbatten’s Southeast Asia Command, with the aim of disarming Japanese forces and establishing order until the Dutch Administration could function effectively.
