Jakarta (ANTARA News) - King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden will pay a state visit to Indonesia on May 22-24, 2017, to strengthen relations and intensify cooperation between the two countries.

"It is the first official state visit ever between our two countries. The purpose of this visit is to broaden the knowledge of the countries to know each other better as well as to increase bilateral trade," Johanna Brismar Skoog, Swedish ambassador to Indonesia, informed some journalists here on Wednesday.

This year, the Swedish monarchs chose to visit Indonesia as one of the four countries since it has been gaining global attention.

The country is considered as a new frontier to boost the global economy, and the Swedish government and businessmen are also keen to capitalize on this opportunity.

The economic mission will comprise 30 big companies from Sweden that will accompany the kings delegations to attend the business forum in Indonesia. Some of the companies have already been operating in Indonesia, such as Ericsson, H&M, IKEA, Tetra Pak, and Spotify, but some others are looking for opportunities to invest in the country.

Swedish delegations are also eager to work together in the fields of research, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship, which have been their strengths.

"Sweden is the worlds second most innovative country, and creativity is a big part of our tradition. Spotify, in this case, is one of the prominent examples on how it can be done. It is a company that introduces Swedish values and inventions all over the world," Skoog noted.

With regard to the agenda of the state visit, King Gustaf and Queen Silvia are scheduled to meet Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the Bogor Palace on the first day and thereafter be part of an activity with the Center for International Forestry Research focusing on the development of sustainable forestry.

On the second day, the Swedish king and queen will hold a collaborative event with Ericsson, a multinational networking and telecommunications equipment and services company headquartered in Stockholm, to discuss smart city challenges, and 60 students from universities in Indonesia are expected to attend it.

On the third day, Swedens head of state will travel to Bandung by train to have lunch with Bandungs Mayor Ridwan Kamil and thereafter attend a seminar on innovation and creative economy at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB).

"During the final session, which is a seminar in ITB, we will discuss how we can create an environment that is conducive for the development of innovations and how the government, universities, and businesses can collaborate by supporting inventions, providing opportunities for research projects, as well as helping incubators and startups," Skoog added.(*)

Turkish, Indonesian battle tank unveiled in Istanbul

Turkey’s FNSS and Indonesia’s PT Pindad unveiled the jointly developed medium weight tank, KAPLAN MT, during the 13th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) in Istanbul on May 10.

FNSS CEO Nail Kurt said at a news conference that the KAPLAN MT program represents not only a new product but also the implementation of a new approach for cooperation in the multinational defense industry.
Kurt said that in line with FNSS’ new vision of being the globe’s trusted and respected defense partner, the tank program was launched three years ago with PT Pindad, accompanied by the two countries’ defense ministries.

“This medium weight tank is a very effective solution to today’s asymmetric warfare conditions exposed which many armies are exposed to,” he said, adding that the “conditions require easy and fast deployment, high mobility, low visibility, high firepower, and yet low cost.”

Highlighting the company’s previous successes in foreign countries, Kurt said, such as in the UAE, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, the rest of the industry will also follow FNSS in Indonesia and it will support a boost in trade relations between the two friendly countries.

Armored vehicles manufacturer FNSS is a joint venture in which Turkish Nurol Holding and British BAE Systems have 51 and 49 percent shareholding, respectively.


High capability to move

The KAPLAN MT tank is set to make a powerful contribution thanks to its fire capacity and large ammunition options as well as its superior ability to move.

A CMI Cockerill 3105 tower - equipped to fire high-pressured 105mm shells - provides the tank’s firepower.
Diesel-engine powered, the tank has a full automatic transmission and is able to carry three crew members: A driver, shooter and commander.

Turkey’s Undersecretary for Defense Industries İsmail Demir said the medium weight tank development project is also a government-to-government program part of the defense cooperation agreement between two “brother countries.”

“FNSS from Turkey and PT Pindad from Indonesia were assigned to execute the program which started with our signatures during the previous IDEF in 2015,” Demir said.

He pointed out that the prototype would be running during the Army Day military parade in Indonesia on Oct. 5.

“After the Indonesia army qualifies the vehicle, it will be ready for serial production. This prototype will serve the needs of the Indonesian army and the Turkish army,” he added.

Stressing the export opportunities, Demir noted there would be great potential for sale to other countries.
“I congratulate both companies in this program and would like to emphasize that we are ready for support serial production of this program with maximizing cooperation between countries,” he added.

Dr. Sutrimo Sumarlan, Director General of Defense Potential for Indonesia, said the three-year tank project was not only a success for Turkish and Indian companies but also for both friendly countries.

“Indonesia and Turkey believe that this medium weight tank would not be produced just for both countries. We can sell it to other countries, especially in the Middle East and Central Asia,” Sumarlan added.
