Setia Diarta, Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment, and Electronics (ILMATE) of the Indonesian Ministry of Industry, revealed that the GIIAS Surabaya 2025 exhibition is expected to repeat last year's success.
“The Ministry of Industry supports the organization of GIIAS Surabaya 2025. This exhibition also affirms Surabaya's position as one of the strategic cities in Indonesia's automotive industry map,” he said.
