Mr. I Kadek Dian Sutrisna, Chief Economist, a representative from PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) or PT SMI of Indonesia, was invited to the seminar to introduce his organization and exchange his ideas and experiences from participating in International Development Finance Club (IDFC). The representative from JICA also shared his experiences and introduced all participants to a seminar by an international development organization or Finance in Common Summit which was held during 11-12 November 2020 in Paris via VDO Conference.
