OVERVIEW

In our globalized world, no country is able to thrive and prosper through its own efforts alone. In terms of developing countries in particular, including Indonesia, support from and cooperation with other countries is crucial to both economic development and to the development of vital infrastructure, within an overall context of a global market approach. One of the most practical ways of implementing international cooperation is through international trade, specifically import and export activity. By focusing on these areas, Indonesian businesses are able to secure assets and resources which are hard to procure in their own country and, even more importantly, Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves also receive a positive boost.[1]
