JAKARTA — Canada will open an export development office in Jakarta and has named an Indo-Pacific trade representative to help Canadian businesses enter new markets in the region, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday while in Indonesia.
"It's really important for Canadian companies and exporters to grow in this region because when they do, that means good jobs back at home," Trade Minister Mary Ng told reporters in Jakarta.Trudeau arrived in Indonesia earlier Tuesday with a commitment to keep growing his relationship with the southeast Asian country.
Canada is also loaning Indonesia over $100 million to build green infrastructure for clean water and solar power. But the relationship with Indonesia wasn't always warm, as countries in the region often viewed Canada's presence too episodic. Days earlier, Team Canada played in Jakarta, where the men's basketball team advanced to the Olympics after beating Spain.
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and a G20 member with significant potential for economic growth.
