Nusa Dua (Antara Bali) - US Secretary of State John Kerry said the US wishes to increase economic cooperation with Indonesia, which is seen as one of the APEC members with an economy that is growing at a quick pace.

"The US wishes to work more closely with Indonesia and other APEC countries," Kerry said at a press conference here on Saturday.

He said economic growth of more than six percent has made Indonesia one of the economies in Asia Pacific that has achieved significant growth, even while a number of countries are suffering slowdowns.

Kerry said Indonesia is one of the US`s most important partners because it has put in place transparent and accountable trade regulations. "Indonesia has proven itself to be a significant partner for the US," he said. (*/M038)
