"President Yudhoyono plans to lead a trade delegation to the countries in Latin America, such as Chile, Mexico and Peru, to exploit the market," said Bachrul Chairil, head of Indonesian Export Development Board (BPEN).
Bachrul said that some contracts had been initially discussed. And if everything goes smoothly, the plan will proceed further during the APEC meeting in November 2008.
