Swiftonomics: Indonesia seeks to work with Singapore for major events

[JAKARTA] Indonesia is keen to join hands with Singapore to host international events including concerts and sports events, but there are no concrete plans yet towards this end, said its Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno.

In an interview with The Business Times (BT) on Thursday (Mar 14), he also said that Indonesia is open to collaborating with Singapore to offset or reduce the carbon footprint from concerts.

Uno recently met with Singapore’s Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu during his official visit to discuss the potential areas for collaboration. Fu is also the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
