cooperation between Indonesia and NSW.
During
the visits, the Ambassador and his counter-parts
had discussion and exchange of views on a broad
range of issues on the recent development both
in Indonesia and Australia particularly in NSW.
It was also aimed at exploring the possibilities
for Indonesia to send nurses, paramedics, and
train-drivers in order to fulfill the labor-gap
in NSW. In the area of economic cooperation,
the Ambassador also discussed about the exchanges
of crossed-trainees within the companies of
both parties, and expressed concern on the recent
decline of the trade volume between the two
parties. Therefore, the both parties need to
seek solutions for the cause of the decline.
