Meeting with Equinoccio - EU Policy and Outreach Partnership
Today 4.1(b)
and I met with 4.1(b)
of Equinoccio, at their request, to
discuss outreach events in Indonesia related to the FTA/CEPA.
Equinoccio has been contracted under FPI to do carry out the EU Policy and Outreach Partnership
programme. For IDN they will organise a business roundtable now on 24 May, and then 2 further media
lunches later in the year (we suggested having one just before or after the Sep round). We gave an
outline on the FTA, expectations, timelines etc. Equinoccio asked us to think about possible good EU
experts to invite for future trade events (they obviously cannot fund participation of EU officials under
their programme), we suggested interlocutors from EU industry active in the region may offer useful
insight, perhaps more than academics or think tank people from Brussels.
4.1(b)
informed they will be active in NZ for a launch event related to the FTA (cfr the concept note
4.1(b)
has produced) and will be active on Singapore as well (we briefly discussed brochures). On
SGP they said they had been in touch with the political section so far, but I suggested they should contact
you 4.1(b) too.
They said they would reach out to our communication people too – I gave them the names of 4.1(b)
