(KPL) The 1st Indonesian Trade and Tourism Fair has drawn a large number of Vientiane residents, business people and foreigners.

The event held on Sep 22-24 was part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Laos and Indonesia.

The three-day event also provided Lao and Indonesian companies opportunities to discuss possible partnership.

TTF 2017 displayed several industrial and cultural products from Lao and Indonesia. The event also featured many activities such as a packaging workshop for Lao SME’s, a Batik workshop, a fashion show and cultural performances.

“The main objective of the event is to enhance cooperation and partnership between business communities of Indonesia and Lao by providing opportunities for them to meet and build networks and tap economic potentials in their respective countries,” said Indonesia Ambassador to Laos Irmawan Emir Wisnandar.

“Indonesia and Lao PDR enjoy a longstanding relationship as this year marks the 60th anniversary of their bilateral ties, a robust bilateral relation that is worth to celebrate.

“The theme of this year 60th Anniversary of Indonesia-Lao PDR Bilateral Relation is RoBUST@60NOW&BEYOND which reflects the good relationship and brotherhood since 1995 and the willingness of the two countries to continuously enhance the existing cooperation,” said Indonesia Ambassador Irmawan.

“I do believe that the exhibition and business matching will provide great opportunities to customers in Laos to access Indonesia products, seeking for business partners and better understand Indonesian culture through joyful cultural performances,” said Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce Mr Somchit Inthamit.

The Indonesian investment in Laos compared with other ASEAN countries is still limited as only two Indonesia investors have been investing in Laos since 2008 with a registered capital of US$350,000, according to Mr Somchit.

“I would like to express sincere appreciations to the embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in the Lao PDR for bringing Indonesian businesses to Laos and celebrating the 60th anniversary of the bilateral relations between the Lao PDR and the Republic of Indonesia,” added Mr Somchit.
