The exhibition plan surfaced nine months after the two countries signed a declaration on technical cooperation in military affairs, during Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski's visit to Indonesia in February.

"(There is) a recent agreement about cooperation in the military industry, and maybe they'll organize an exhibition of military equipment, which would be held in Jakarta by the end of November, and would be visited by our minister of defense. It's not yet decided but we'll encourage him to come," Boguslaw Zaleski,Poland's deputy foreign minister, was quoted Wednesday by The Jakarta Post as saying.

However, he declined to give more details, including the date.

Zaleski led a 12-member high-level delegation, including two other deputy ministers of economy and of finance, to Jakarta for a two-day consultation with Indonesian officials.

He said that the consultations, which ended on Tuesday, focusedon preparations for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and on economic issues and investment.

The economic cooperation is yet to show more tangible results, he said. He reiterated that bilateral trade has been in Indonesia's favor for several years. Last year, Poland imported goods worth 250 million US dollars from Indonesia, and its exports to Indonesia were valued at just 17.2 million dollars.

"So, first our goal is just to balance this deficit. We are not looking for any kind of surplus, but for a balance and the development of bilateral relations," he said.
