ndonesia and the United Kingdom have signed an agreement to boost cooperation in the creative economy after President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo met with Prime Minister David Cameron in Britain on Monday, local time.
"This time, my visit is to strengthen cooperation in the creative economy and to develop our creative industry," Jokowi said in a statement received by thejakartapost.com.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Cameron said that, “Indonesia, as a country projected to become the world's seventh largest economy by 2030, is a major partner for the UK.”
The UK is Indonesia’s fifth largest investor.
"Exports are growing between our two countries and the number of Indonesian students in the UK has also increased," he said.
Cameron also expressed support for a comprehensive economic partnership agreement between Indonesia and the European Union.
As a democratic and predominately Muslim country, Cameron said Indonesia could help address the challenges of terrorism and extremism. (aym/bbn)
