Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesia has offered Thailand the purchase of some of its rain maker type CN 212-400 aircraft after the Thai Royal Police bought an aircraft made by PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) in 2014.
Indonesia Foreign Affairs Minister, Retno Marsudi revealed this during a joint press conference with her Thai counterpart, Don Pramud-winai, in Jakarta on Thursday.
"In the aircraft or aviation industry, we have a commitment that Thailand will purchase aircraft made by PTDI," Retno noted.
The two ministers also agreed to hold a consultation meeting sometime in February or March this year.
The consultation meeting would be held to follow up on a previous meeting held on April 23 to 25, 2015, which discussed negotiations on maritime delimitation.
The two ministers also discussed trade, investment, tourism, aviation industry, and skilled labor for the food industry.
Both ministers also agreed to enhance bilateral trade, which has decreased to US$12 million in 2015 from US$15 million in 2014.
"The figure decreased last year, that is why we are committed to enhancing it," Retno said.
During the joint press statement, Minister Pramud-winai addressed the importance of the two countries taking part in student exchanges in a bid to strengthen bilateral relations.
"I believe our future relations rely on our youth," he said.
According to the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Thailand is the third largest trade partner of Indonesia in ASEAN and the 11th largest investor in the region.(WDY)
