"Indonesia`s participation in the 45th Cairo International Fair is part of its effort to create a positive image of Egypt in the eyes of the international community," Nurfaizi said on the sidelines of the ASEAN-Egypt Cooperation Forum in Cairo.
The former Metro Jaya Police chief noted that the post-revolutionary situation in Egypt was similar to the multi-dimensional crisis in Indonesia in 1998.
He recalled that during the Indonesian crisis, the country needed international support to restore its image.
"Indonesia has experience in overcoming a crisis and, therefore, we want to share this with Egypt to assist in its restoring its image," Nurfaizi noted.
He added that 11 companies from Indonesia took part in the Cairo International Fair, which is being held from March 18-30.
The Indonesian companies which participated in the Cairo International Fair were PT. Sekawan Cosmetics, Nahdi Jewelry, PT. Bina Karya Prima, CV. Afaq Erfani, Reny Feby Jewelry, PT. FG. Artha Sejahtera, PT. Harvest Chemical Solutions, Indonesia Muslim Businessmen Community (KPMI), PT. Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia, PT. Andaw Ngensowidjaja and PT. Savindo Karya Perdana.
