Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

 

Yang Mulia Presiden Sauli Niinistö dan para Anggota Delegasi dari Finlandia,

 

Suatu kehormatan bagi Indonesia menerima Presiden Finlandia, Presiden Sauli Niinistö, di Jakarta. Hubungan bilateral Indonesia dan Finlandia telah terjalin selama 61 tahun. Dan dalam pertemuan bilateral tadi, kita mengangkat beberapa isu.

 

Yang pertama, di bidang ekonomi, kita menyambut baik kedatangan Presiden dengan sebelas pengusaha top dari Finlandia untuk memanfaatkan peluang yang terbuka lebar di Indonesia. Pengusaha yang hadir bergerak di bidang energi, infrastruktur, teknologi informasi, dan manajemen pelabuhan. Kita juga sepakat, target perdagangan sebesar US$1 miliar pada tahun 2016. Dan kita juga sepakat untuk terus meningkatkan investasi agar dapat mencapai US$3,6 juta pada 2015 ini.

 

Di bidang energi, kita mengajak Finlandia untuk bekerja sama mengembangkan energi terbarukan dan efisiensi energi.

 

Kemudian juga, di bidang ekonomi digital, kita juga menyampaikan visi Indonesia sebagai negara ekonomi digital terbesar di Asia Tenggara. Dan tadi kita mengajak perusahaan-perusahaan besar di Finlandia, di bidang teknologi informasi, untuk memanfaatkan momentum ini.

 

Saya dan Presiden Niinistö juga membahas beberapa perkembangan isu global, baik yang berkaitan dengan pengungsi dari Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara, dan kita memiliki keprihatinan yang sama, dan saya menyampaikan pentingnya mendorong tumbuhnya budaya penyelesaian konflik secara damai dan budaya toleransi serta kerja sama mediasi.

 

Yang terakhir, kita juga membahas isu perubahan iklim dan rencana konferensi di Paris. Saya menyampaikan komitmen Indonesia dan harapan agar negara industri dapat memberikan contoh pengurangan emisi dan memberikan dukungan implementasi pada negara berkembang.

 

Demikian yang dapat saya sampaikan. Selanjutnya saya mengundang Yang Mulia Presiden Niinistö untuk menyampaikan pernyataannya.

 

Presiden Finlandia:

I want to, first, warmly thank President Joko Widodo for his invitation to visit Indonesia and to very interesting discussions we have had. I have been deeply impressed by the warm hospitality that me and my wife and the whole delegation have received during this visit.

 

I was very saddened to learn about the forest and land fires, which have later human casualties. On behalf of the people of Finland, please allow me to express my deepest condolences on this occasion.

 

Today we have discussed several topics of mutual interests, this including our bilateral relations, regional and international topics, and economic cooperation.

 

Finland and Indonesia entered excellent relations, which are much closer than our geographic distance might indicate. Our relations are based on a long tradition. Last year, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of Finnish-Indonesian diplomatic relations. One important milestone in our relations is the Helsinki Peace Agreement for Aceh, signed ten years ago. My previous President, Martti Ahtisaari, played the key role during the process.

 

Today, economic cooperation is in the core of our relations, and I am glad to bring a business delegation of world-class experts with me on this visit. I am delighted that we have identified many mutually beneficial sectors, so that we can complement each other’s efforts and strengths in the best practical ways.

 

Discussions have focused on energy and infrastructure, but I am certain there is a great potential for deepening and strengthening our economic ties also in areas such as education and forestry.

 

Concrete steps are also taken as a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of sustainable, clean and renewable energy, and energy efficiency has been just signed. Many lucrative discussions are also ongoing with our Indonesian partners and friends.

 

Finland is a well functioning, competitive, and one of the most innovative societies in the world. This values have made us a great partner in several other topics and areas as well. We are like-minded in many issues and share parallel views on several questions in international floor. 

 

Our experience in bileteral peacekeeping and mediation tie our countries together and lay ground for the future coperation in multilateral questions.

 

To end up, thank you, Mr. President, Your Excellency, once again. And like I said, we would very much like to see you in Finland as soon as possible, having a visit to Finland. Welcome.
