Australian Northern Territory Minister for Trade, Business and Asian Relations Robyn Cahill led a delegation to Indonesia from 17-23 February 2025 to further strengthen ties and promote trade opportunities.
The delegation advanced the Northern Territory’s strategic role as Australia’s gateway to Asia.
"Indonesia is one of Australia’s closest neighbours and is an important economic and strategic partner for business,” said Ms Cahill.
“Progression of the Northern Territory-Indonesia Critical Minerals memorandum of understanding demonstrates our commitment to deepen trade and investment ties and explore new opportunities together."
The Northern Territory delegation met with Indonesian businesses and government officials and attended the Indonesian Economic Summit to progress investment opportunities in manufacturing, energy and critical minerals.
“The re-establishment of a dedicated portfolio of Asian Relations in the Northern Territory Government is a clear demonstration of the importance of our northern neighbours to growing the Territory’s economy.
“The Northern Territory is ready to work with Indonesia to unlock investment in critical minerals, processing facilities and downstream industries."
