JAKARTA, July 14 (Xinhua): Indonesia aims to lead the charge in making the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) an automotive industry production house, the Jakarta Post daily quoted Edy Putra Irawady, a deputy to the coordinating minister for industry and trade, as saying today.
"Now that we are the leader of the ASEAN automotive cooperative, we have the chance to shape the industry in the region," he said.
The cooperative set up in 2002 is hoped to make the ASEAN region a unified automotive industry production hub to strengthen the competitiveness of regional auto suppliers and build the ASEAN- made brand and automotive parts.
