At the bilateral level, Indonesia has made a formal cooperation (memorandum of understanding) with Korea in the field of competition law enforcement. The cooperation is carried out by competition authorities in the two economies. Meanwhile, competition policy itself has become negotiated aspects in many international trade negotiations, particularly those of EFTA states, European Union, Australia, and Korea.
