Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan promised to encourage the expansion of the export market share of products from Indonesia. He also admitted that he had spoken with the EU ambassador to speed up the trade agreement with Indonesia. "Indeed, there are points that have not been completed, but there are a few more. For example, so that the government opens bidding," he said at the export release of 6,700 pairs of Nike shoes to the Netherlands, at the PT Pratama Abadi Industri office, Serpong Tangerang on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. He also I hope that the Indonesia-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement or IUAE-CEPA cooperation can be completed soon. He hopes that this cooperation will boost the value of Indonesia's exports to the Gulf and Middle East. The signing of the IUAE-CEPA is a historic moment because this is the first time Indonesia has a trade agreement with a country in the Gulf Region. He hopes that products from PT Pratama Abadi Industri will also be able to expand its market to these countries.

Zulkifli also claimed to have coordinated with the Saudi Arabian Finance Minister. He will also continue the assessment at a meeting of the Ministers in Bali, at the G20 event later. "We are accelerating this trade agreement to Saudi Arabia. We are also in the process of making an agreement with Nigeria," he said. Zulkifli said that Indonesia's export market share is still very large. He said Indonesia was still in the sixth position as a footwear exporter with a share of 3.88 or below Vietnam. "We, the Ministry of Trade, will support as hard as we can. Not only to survive, but also to develop," he said.
