At 10am on the 17th of August 1945 Indonesia proclaimed its independence. Since then, every year on the 17th of August, Indonesians have celebrated this significant moment.
For weeks now Indonesians have been getting ready for this year’s Independence Day. They have been decorating buildings and shops with their national colours, and stocking up on celebratory food to share with family and friends. Some residents even paint their gates red and white to celebrate.
As close neighbours of Indonesia, Australia has a highly productive connection that covers political, commercial, environmental, cultural and social aspects with Indonesia. The relationship between Australia and Indonesia is a very important one for both countries.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade estimates that Australia’s two-way trade with Indonesia rose 15 per cent to reach $14.8 billion in 2011. This makes Indonesia our 11th largest trade market*.
In January 2012 the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) entered into force for Indonesia. This is Australia’s most ambitious trade deal to date. It gives exporters many commercial benefits, including reduced tariffs and new opportunities to tap into global supply chains. For more information on AANZFTA visit the DFAT website.
Indonesia has a huge potential for trade. But there are differences in the IP protection schemes between the two countries. Make sure your intellectual property (IP) is secure before you enter the Indonesian market. Visit IP Australia’s IP protection in Indonesia page to help you understand the IP issues you may face when exporting to Indonesia.
