| 21-July-2010
Indonesia has agreed to speed up the free trade talks with Australia to have the agreement in place soon, Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said today (20/7). 
The Indonesian government will go ahead with the implementation of a free trade agreement with India despite strong opposition from local industries about a similar trade deal with China early this year, says a senior trade official. 
It is believed that the Indonesian government is not fully aware of the consequences or obligations it accepted when it ratified the ASEAN-China FTA. For example, there was barely any published feasibility study of commitments undertaken within the ACFTA or public hearings before the agreement was ratified. 
"We reject the ASEAN-China FTA. We’ll lose our jobs, we can’t compete with cheap Chinese products," rally coordinator Agus Supriyanto said.
