Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The governments of Indonesia and the Netherlands will cooperate in the field of coastal and maritime affairs, according to an official of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).

"We will cooperate in various forms of maritime infrastructures in effort to boost the country's economy among others," the Kadin deputy general chairman Didi Suwondo stated here on Wednesday.

In an event of "Building a Global Maritime Nexus: Next Steps in Indonesian-Dutch Partnerships in Coastal and Maritime Development" several matters discussed were among others the construction of water absorption, anti-abrasion and some seaport infrastructures.

Didi further said that it was the first kind of the maritime cooperation because Indonesia has geographic advantage in terms of coastal affairs.

"Our choice to cooperate with the Netherlands because the country has experience in the coastal infrastructures, in addition to strengthen bilateral ties," he said.

In the meantime, the first secretary of the Netherlands embassy Peter de Vries said, such cooperation is good for the two countries. (WDY)
