The two countries established a trade cooperation policy called the Working Level Task Force Meeting (WLTFM), but the cooperation between Indonesia and South Korea tended to decline. The decline occurred due to the determination of normal track boundaries, sensitive lists and highly sensitive list. In addition, South Korea made an egoistic self-interest policy. Efforts were made to increase the trade balance between the Indonesian and South Korean governments by forming IK-CEPA 2012 but the effort was less successful, then 2017 the two countries implemented a new policy called Special Strategic Partnership. The policy will encourage acceleration of South Korean investment in Indonesia and open up wider employment opportunities. Moreover, the policy can also have a widespread impact as it reflects the building of mutual trust between the two countries and can serve as an example for other countries to open up opportunities for strengthening similar cooperation.
