Innovation and Change: Forging the New Canada-Indonesia Partnership

Presented by Len Edwards, Distinguished Fellow, Centre for International Governance Innovation, and former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Government of Canada Few nations have advanced so rapidly and presented such scale of opportunity and challenge as Indonesia, which is projected to be the 7th largest economy in the world by 2030. Yet, in Canada, Indonesia has received only sporadic attention from senior policy makers and the business community. CIGI’s Special Report entitled “Innovation and Change: Forging the New Canada-Indonesia Partnership” sets out why Indonesia is relevant to Canada, highlights the challenges and opportunities we face in pursing our relationship and assesses the drivers underlying our bilateral ties and engagement. Above all, this report lays out a path forward and provides a series of recommendations for concrete steps that are needed if the gap between performance and potential is to be closed. Canada’s future prosperity depends on our capacity to tap into the growth of emerging economies such as Indonesia.
