Surabaya, E Java (Antara Bali) -- Hundreds of Asian exporters have committed themselves to strengthening logistics cooperation through the Asian Shippers' Alliance (ASA) declaration issued here on Wednesday.
The declaration provides them more power to bargain while dealing with problems related to shipping and ports in a country.
Chairman of the Indonesian Transport Service Users Council (Depalindo) Toto Dirgantoro said that while drafting the declaration, the council had teamed up with the National Ombudsman to supervise public services.
In addition, it had also cooperated with several ombudsmen of ASA member states, including those from South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Macau, Bangladesh and the European Union.
"We are optimistic that through the declaration, we can report each public service that exporters consider burdensome for improvement," he affirmed, adding that this way, national exporters can boost exports.
A lot of activities are closely related with logistics. Therefore, only countries that can control distribution can compete in the global market and manage the high-cost economy, Dirgantoro explained. (WDY)
