Indonesia's president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono leaves Australia after a three-day visit that has been hailed a big success in re-building the recently-troubled relationship between the two countries.

The President spent the final day of his trip meeting with the CEOs of Australian companies which are investing in Indonesia's abundant natural resources, or wanting access to its potential 240-million consumers. But the most important link in strengthening economic ties between the two countries - a Free Trade Agreement - is no closer to being signed.

Presenter: Scott Alle
Speakers: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Indonesia's president; Simon Crean, Australian trade minister; Ian Satchwell, convenor of the Free trade advisory group set-up by the Australia Indonesia Business Council; S.D. Darmono, president of the Indonesia Australia Business Council
