Lubomir Zaoralek and his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on exempting visa for the two countries’ diplomatic passport holders and grant more scholarships for students.
The two sides also inked an agreement to resume the bilateral negotiation mechanism which was established in 2007.
The Czech Republic is one of the 75 nations enjoying tourism visa exemption in Indonesia. This is hoped to bring more Czech investors and tourists to the Southeast Asian country.
The ministers stressed the need to create enormous opportunities to boost bilateral economic, trade and investment ties.
