Additionally, the 2019 INA-LAC also witnessed the establishment of cooperation on export-import facility between the Indonesian Eximbank (Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia) and Bancoldex of Colombia, as well as several important agreements by Indonesian government, inter alia, the agreement to discuss the Term of Reference for Partial Trade Agreement between Indonesia and Colombia; agreement on technical cooperation and capacity building for small and medium enterprises in Belize, Panama and Suriname; as well as the agreement to commence the dialogue toward negotiation of trade treaty between Indonesia and MERCOSUR1.
