The Ministry of Trade stressed the importance of the project for Indonesia to fulfill its commitments under the World Trade Organization, and to contribute to the national objective of putting in place the Indonesia Single Risk Management (ISRM).
Both partners emphasized that sharing experiences and expertise within Indonesia and globally is at the core of the project.
