Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officiated the export of the first batch of cars from Indonesia to the Australian market.

President Jokowi remarked that the first export of cars from PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia to Australia served as proof that Indonesia had seized the opportunity to explore new export markets. Toyota was able to  push export production to up to two million units. The company  marked the innovations by the business sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
