Over the past two weeks, MACN travelled to Indonesia as a first step in setting up our new Collective Action initiative in the country - we aim to overcome operational challenges, and promote fair trade through collaboration in what has the potential to become one of Asia's key trading hubs. 🇮🇩 On invitation from the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investment Affairs Republic of Indonesia, we presented at the "Public-Private Forum Dialogue on Shipping Related Matters" in Batam. The goal was to facilitate collaboration and coordination between stakeholders in the maritime industry, and anti-corruption was addressed in a dedicated session. We look forward to report on developments at next years event. The following week, we travelled to Jakarta and engaged in meaningful conversations with the local offices of our members, civil society organisations, embassies, and government agencies, to begin a multi-stakeholder dialogue on how we together can improve the challenging operational environment. The notion echoing every conversation was; "Indonesia has so much potential". Now back in Copenhagen - equipped with an armoury of new insights, action points, and knowledge - we will take a stab on the next steps and scope our work plan.
