🇨🇭🇮🇩 The first day of the official visit of Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin to Indonesia was marked by important steps to further strengthen Swiss–Indonesian economic ties.

The program began with the 4th Annual Meeting of the Swiss–Indonesian Trade and Sustainability Council, co-led by economiesuisse and Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN). Discussions focused on creating more favorable conditions for trade and investment, improving the exchange of business opportunities on both sides, and fostering collaboration in areas such as sustainability and innovation.

Afterwards, Federal Councillor Parmelin held an official meeting with H.E. Rosan Roeslani, Minister of Investment and Downstreaming / Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry / Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)), and the CEO of Danantara Indonesia. The highlight of this encounter was the signing of an Expression of Interest on Enhanced Economic Cooperation in the Minerals and Metals sector — a step towards supporting sustainable resource development and strengthening value chains.

The day concluded with a Welcoming Dinner Reception hosted by KADIN Indonesia, where an MoU was signed between KADIN and the Swiss-Asian Chamber of Commerce (SACC). This agreement underscores the joint ambition of both countries’ private sectors to expand cooperation, enhance partnerships, and open new doors for businesses in diverse industries.

🤝 This first day set a promising tone for a week of strengthened partnerships, sustainable growth, and new opportunities between Switzerland and Indonesia.
