Kupang, E.Nusa Tenggara (Antara NTT) - Financial analyst James Adam expects that the visit of President Joko Widodo to Australia to meet Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on March 26, 2017 will strengthen bilateral relationship.
He said it will also be economically beneficial to the two countries, especially in the tourism sector. "It is the best time for such an initiative because Australia is experiencing a tourism boom," he noted here on Friday.
For East Nusa Tenggara, the visit could be even more strategic as the provincial administration has been making efforts for two years now to develop the local economy, especially for those in areas bordering East Timor and Australia.
For example, James said, in June 2016, the administration held a Growth Triangle Coordination Meeting of Indonesia, East Timor and Australia in Kupang to finds ways to improve trade and economy of the three countries.
