Trade Minister: Indonesia Lags Behind on Free Trade



Indonesia has always relied on natural resources, whose commodity prices have now plummeted.
`We must admit that we are far behind our competitors in terms of FTA,` said Thomas at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry National Working Meeting in Jakarta on Wednesday (1/6/2016).
According to Thomas, Indonesia has only 10 free trade agreements. Compared to Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, Indonesia has the least cooperation with other countries.
`We should catch up,` Thomas said.
Currently, countries that once had no natural resources are on the rise. This is because they have processed their raw materials into finished goods, whereas Indonesia still exports and sells only raw materials.
`In fact, countries that did not used to enjoy commodities are ready now,` said Thomas.
Currently, countries that once had no natural resources are on the rise.

Here are a few options for translating `Estafet Kepemimpinan: Wakil Ketua IKBI PT KPBN Resmi Menjabat,` with slightly different nuances:

The best option depends on the specific context and the tone you want to convey. In most cases, the first option, `Leadership Relay: Vice Chairman of IKBI PT KPBN Officially Takes Office,` is the most suitable.

Option 2 (More Descriptive):

Option 3 (Slightly more dynamic):

Explanation of Choices:

* `In Shared Steps` emphasizes the togetherness of movement.
* `In Every Step Together` is a bit more literal and descriptive.
* `On The Run Together` is shorter and dynamic.
* KPBN Hadir dalam: All options use `KPBN Participates in` or `KPBN Present at` (both work). `Present at` is the more direct translation.

The best option depends on the specific context and the desired tone. I'd lean toward Option 1 or Option 2 for general use.

Option 3 (More Formal):

* PT KPBN Business Catch-up: Fostering Enhanced Marketing Collaboration with PTPN GROUP

Explanation of Choices:

* Business Catch-up: This is generally understood in English-speaking business circles.
* Enhancing/Driving/Fostering: These verbs all work to convey `Tingkatkan` (increase, improve, enhance). The best choice depends on the specific context. `Enhancing` is a safe general choice. `Driving` is more active and suggests a push to make things happen. `Fostering` suggests nurturing and cultivating collaboration.
* within/for/with: These prepositions clarify the relationship between KPBN and PTPN GROUP. `within` suggests PTPN GROUP is a larger entity and the collaboration is happening inside it. `for` focuses on the target audience and goal of collaboration. `with` emphasize the relationship between the two entities in that collaboration.
* PTPN GROUP: Keeping the name in uppercase is appropriate since it is a proper noun.
* PT KPBN: You could also keep it as PT KPBN.

The best option depends on the specific context and the intended audience. If you want a simple, direct translation, Option 1 is a good choice.
