Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Ministry will hold a fair, the Indonesian Creative Product Festival (ICPF) 2018 at Putra World Trade Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on April 13-15, 2018.

According to Fachrozi, ICPC 2018 becomes a gateway for 57 million Indonesian SMEs to market their products abroad.

He continued ICPC 2018 has received a remarkable welcome from SOEs, indicated by the number of exhibition booths. "Of the 100 exhibition booths, 65 of them are already booked," Fachrozi noted.
