“Connecting Australia and Indonesia Business” forms a part of our current programming focus on the Australia - Indonesia relationship. By bringing policy, business and social perspectives on Australia-Indonesia relations, we seek to generate a “contest of ideas” on if and how Australia and Indonesia can build a shared future in the Asia-Pacific neighbourhood.
