Australia and Indonesia have long enjoyed a strong, stable bilateral relationship as close neighbours in the Asia-Pacific with many shared political, economic and social interests. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the considerable scope for engagement and debate between Australia and Indonesia on global and local issues of concern for both countries and for new opportunities for audiences in Indonesia to further engage with developments in Australia.
Therefore, we invite you to register for the conference Australia-Indonesia in Conversation on 21-22 July, Managing COVID-19 and ‘Post’-Pandemic Challenges, organised by Universitas Gadjah Mada in partnership with the University of Melbourne.
This conference consists of a series of round table panel discussions held over two half-day sessions.
Across four panels, senior representatives from both universities, the governments of both countries, and community workers will share insights into regional cooperation, how Australia and Indonesia have dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, the social impacts of the pandemic and important issues on social inclusion and social justice emerging from the pandemic, as well as economic challenges and the future of economic relations after the Indonesia Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) takes effect.
