According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance on the 15th, Deputy Prime Minister Choo attended the Korea-Indonesia Business Roundtable held on the 14th (local time) at the Nusa Dua Convention Center in Bali, Indonesia, where he signed a memorandum of understanding with Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Maritime Investment, on this matter.


This meeting took place on the occasion of President Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to Indonesia to attend the Group of Twenty (G20) summit. As the need to promote investment cooperation between South Korea and Indonesia grew, the two countries agreed to launch a high-level dialogue to discover and promote bilateral investment cooperation projects.
