"Indonesia is well positioned to benefit from the world-class aircraft manufactured by Boeing. From the reliable and efficient 737 MAX to the cutting-edge 787 Dreamliner and upcoming 777X, Boeing has been a trusted partner in connecting people and goods across the globe. Boeing’s commitment to safety, technology, and environmental sustainability aligns well with Indonesia’s own objectives for a sustainable future," the US diplomat stated.
"The relationship between the United States and Indonesia is built on a strong foundation, characterized by cooperation and mutual respect in all of the areas in which we cooperate. Boeing’s expanded footprint in Indonesia highlights our shared dedication to creating jobs, promoting economic growth, innovation, and security," he concluded. (WHY)
