Yogyakarta (Antara Bali) - The government expects Indonesia to become an automotive production base especially for four-wheel vehicles.
"We want Indonesia to become a production base, not only to meet domestic demands," the Ministry of Industry's Secretary General Ansari Bukhari said after opening the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Automotive Dialogue (APEC AD) here.
Ansari said that currently there is an increase in vehicle exports to several countries in the Middle East and some other countries.
"We can utilize the potentials that exist around us, and if it can be synergized with APEC members it would be better," said Ansari.
The automotive dialogue with the APEC countries is also expected to be able to open up market access, Ansari added. (IGT)
