Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am convinced that the existence and development of Indonesia Export Training Center ( PPEI ) will be countinuously required to improve Human Resources Development ( HRD ) in export, especially in transforming local entrepreneurs to become exporters. PPEI’s activities integrating education and export training are expected to contribute efforts in increasing the number of exporter, afterward to increase Indonesia export value in global market.

PPEI participation is expected also to build Indonesian’s product image since it is an obligation for exporter in a tight global competition as happened nowdays. Those who want to win in the competition and expand export market should have the fundamental ideas and increase their expertise to improve quality.

Finally, I would like to say do the best for PPEI’s Staff and hope that the performance of PPEI in boosting exporters’ability could be increased.
