Singapore-based companies may soon be able to look to Indonesia's youth for talent under a new partnership that is part of wide-ranging efforts to enhance ties between the two countries.
This was revealed by Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan yesterday at a media briefing in Jakarta, alongside his Indonesian counterpart, Ms Retno Marsudi, on the first day of his two-day inaugural visit as Singapore's top envoy.
Both foreign ministers underlined the importance of the long-standing relationship between the two countries - built on strong historical and trade ties - and pledged to collaborate in new areas such as human resources.
