Indonesian President Joko Widodo will address parliament on Monday in a historic moment marking a new era of trade relations between south-east Asia and Australia after a turbulent decade.
"President Widodo and I are both committed to setting a lively pace in implementing our new free-trade agreement, which benefits Australian farmers and businesses," Mr Morrison said."Counter-terrorism efforts, the impact of plastic waste on the oceans and an open internet are also topics the Australian government is planning to discuss with the Indonesian leader.
He said it would open up more export opportunities to local businesses, lower barriers to trade and reduce costs particularly for farmers but also education, tourism and professional services. "I have no quarrel with the Indonesian legal system, but I continue to worry about these five young men who, if they had received the same sentence as me, may well have been back in Australia with their families by now," she said.
