Indonesia remains fully committed to its free trade agreement with China under ASEAN but will also seek ways to address the domestic industry's fears voiced that their business will be hurt by the inflow of Chinese products, says the foreign minister.
The government submitted a proposal to delay tariff reduction on 228 items under the free trade agreement between the Southeast Asia regional grouping and China last week to the ASEAN Economic Community Council.
The AC-FTA, effective early this year, applied zero tariffs on 6,682 tariff lines in 17 sectors, including 12 in manufacturing, and five in agriculture, mining and maritime sectors.
