JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Take advantage of the Indonesia-Australia economic partnership deal to boost your competitiveness, Vice Trade Minister Jerry Sambuaga advised Indonesia's business community.

The two trade partners recently moved ahead with the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) on July 5.

Jerry reminded Indonesia’s business community that the IA-CEPA encompasses more than trade as it includes cooperation in the fields of economy, investment, healthcare, and business competition.
