Jakarta, MINA – Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi expressed Indonesia’s interest in exploring collaboration with Latvia in the field of education, particularly focusing on research partnerships between countries.

“Potential collaboration in joint research and university cooperation is a key focus,” said Retno during a press conference with Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže in Jakarta on Thursday.

Retno also hopes that Latvia can facilitate student visas for Indonesian students planning to study there.

Currently, Retno noted, the two countries are finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cultural cooperation, which includes visual and performing arts, museums, libraries, and both tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
