On 2nd February 2022, the Indonesian Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Dewi Gustina Tobing met the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa in Colombo towards promotion and the marketing of Indonesian produced aluminium and electric motorcycles.
The ambassador promoted the aluminium manufactured in Indonesia, which is one of the potential sectors of the nation. In 2021, Sri Lanka's aluminium imports have reached around $427 million.
Dewi said, “Indonesian aluminium products are now starting to be noticed by the Sri Lankan market and have a strong enough potential to become a source of increasing Indonesian exports to Sri Lanka."
"One of the potential economic cooperation between Indonesia and Sri Lanka today is the marketing of Indonesian electric motorcycles, considering that Sri Lanka is intensively promoting the use and development of technology and eco-friendly sustainable environment," Dewi, stated from the Indonesian Embassy in Colombo.
With the cooperation undertaken, Indonesia's exports can be boosted in the form of intermediate goods or semi-finished products for Sri Lanka's industrial production needs. In this case, Indonesia can take advantage of Sri Lanka's potential as a hub and as part of a free trade agreement in the South and Central Asia region.
