The European Union is seeking to deepen technology cooperation with Indonesia, highlighting opportunities spanning digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence and the country's vast natural resources to bolster competitiveness and expand economic ties. Cyprus, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU, said enhancing the EU's relationship with Indonesia and ASEAN has been among its priorities, including preparations for the entry into force of the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA).
"Our hope and aim is that through the implementation of this agreement, the EU-Indonesia economic relationship in all its facets will gain significantly in breadth and depth," Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Panayiotou said in Jakarta on Thursday.
