On May 18, the second edition of the Spain-Indonesia Forum will be held online from 9.30am a 11.05am Madrid / 12.30pm-4.05pm Jakarta. This forum, like last year, is organised by Casa Asia and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) of Indonesia, and has the support of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of both countries, and the collaboration of their respective Embassies in Jakarta and Madrid.

The Spain-Indonesia Forum constitutes a platform for dialogue and cooperation whose main objective is to strengthen relations between both countries, as well as exploring opportunities for collaboration and promoting links between the respective civil societies.

This second edition consists of an opening session and a closing session, and two work sessions. The first session will address digital innovation as a tool to overcome the COVID 19 pandemic, whereas the second session will contrast the views from both countries regarding the Indo-Pacific region.

Casa Asia organises these forums with Asian countries (currently with the Republic of Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia) with the aim of promoting annual meetings between the delegations of both countries around issues of common interest.

Digital Innovation to Overcome COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economies across the world, including Indonesia and Spain. The two countries have similar economic concerns and would benefit from sharing the lesson learned of how to rebuild their economy and society better two years in the pandemic. Support to build back better can benefit greatly the two countries’ tourism and manufacture industry sectors, as well as the micro, small and medium enterprises to regain footing. Digital economy and innovation policy have been seen as solutions to revive and recover some of the most crucial economic sectors. This session shares innovation taken by Indonesia and Spain to address the challenges brought by the pandemic, as well as exploring the possible joint-innovation going forward.

Indonesian and Spanish perspectives on the Indo-Pacific

The new concept of Indo-pacific answers to the realization that the Indian and Pacific Oceans are deeply interlinked and face similar challenges. Until now, the term has been adopted by a number of countries worldwide, as could be seen by the various Indo-Pacific strategies published. Most of these Indo-Pacific strategies stress on the need for interconnectivity between the continents of the world. This session shares Indonesian and Spanish perspective on their version of the Indo-Pacific, highlighting possible cooperation and collaboration.
