His Excellency Mr Thomas Lembong, Chairman of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board and Indonesian former Minister of Trade, delivered a public lecture on stronger business partnership between Australia and Indonesia on 25 June 2019. Indonesia and Australia signed the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) on 4 March 2019; the first major trade agreement signed by Indonesia in the last 10 years. IA-CEPA is not only a pivotal moment on paper, but also bridges the economic facilitation between the two countries.
