“Many Indonesian use smartphones and do online business nowadays, and South Korea with more expertise in online business can help Indonesia’s e-commerce industry,” he said during a media briefing in Jakarta on Thursday.
“We hope this event helps the online retail business in Indonesia grow,” he added.
KITA is the largest business organization in South Korea with around 74,000 members, mostly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The association has operated in Indonesia for two years under the KITA Jakarta Center. (ecn/hwa)
