We noted energy, oil and gas, transport infrastructure, civil aviation, machine building, computer and telecommunications technologies, and halal industry as very promising. We welcome [the idea to] convene the 13th meeting of the Russian-Indonesian joint commission on trade, economic and technical cooperation as soon as possible.
