In the series of official visits, the Indonesian Ambassador had the opportunity to have a meeting with the Foreign Minister, Rui Alberto de Figueiredo Soares.

?"Meanwhile the Indonesian Ambassador also see a great potential that the two countries could develop in tourism cooperation," said the Indonesian Embassy in Dakar in a press release issued on Monday.
Cabo Verde as an archipelago requires inter-island and inter-regional transportation facilities and on that occasion Ambassador Dindin offered PT. Dirgantara Indonesia and the ferries produced by PT. PAL.
In addition, it was also discussed to realize the tourism cooperation plan in the form of sister city cooperation between the Sal Island Government and the Bali Regional Government as well as the exchange of best practices in the management of the tourism industry.

?Cabo Verde is an archipelago country with a relatively small population, relying on the main country's foreign exchange from the tourism and marine product sectors.
Cabo Verde, which became independent from Portugal on July 5, 1975, is politically very stable with fairly high economic growth.
In addition, Cabo Verde is also very famous for its beautiful beach tourism and invites foreign investors to build a tourism industry in various tourist destinations. During the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism was an industry that was badly affected. The visit of foreign tourists to Cabo Verde in 2019 was recorded more than 820 thousand, mainly from the UK, Germany, France, the US and Portugal. ?
