The Australian government hopes to identify areas where there can be a swift reduction in trade barriers with Indonesia as a result of the first visit to Australia by the relatively new Trade Minister Thomas Lembong. 
The visit this week marks a subtle shift in priorities in Australia's trade diplomacy. Indonesia is now seen as amongst the potentially most receptive countries for improved business ties after languishing for three years due to other bilateral tensions.
Australia's new Trade Minister, Steve Ciobo, has put discussions with Hong Kong and Taiwan on the agenda and appears to be looking for some specific trade improvements in the Arabian Gulf countries, although the long-running talks on a formal agreement there appear to be in a stalemate.
Meanwhile, the discussions with India that took on a high priority last year, have been caught up in domestic debate within India about its domestic manufacturing push and the revenue cost of tariff reductions.
And the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership, which had received the highest priority, is now heavily bogged down by the anti-trade tone in the US election campaign, although Japan has moved towards ratifying that agreement.
Mr Lembong, a former investment banker appointed last year as part of a shake-up to Indonesian President Joko Widodo's economic team, arrives in Sydney on Tuesday for meetings with Australian companies and will then meet Mr Ciobo in Canberra on Wednesday.
The Australia-Indonesia Closer Economic Partnership Agreement was originally intended to be a broader deal than a conventional trade agreement extending to areas including development, education and labour movement which made it likely the process would take a considerable time.
With Mr Lembong having already made his mark on a series of new deregulation measures in Indonesia, Australian officials are hoping he will be receptive to finding some "low-hanging fruit" in the bilateral trade relationship where trade barriers can be quickly removed. This would pave the way for dealing with more complex and sensitive issues.
Former trade minister Andrew Robb introduced a deal-making element into Australia's trade talks during the even longer-running talks with China by deciding to put certain unresolvable issues aside to be be discussed again in three years in order to get a deal.
Mr Ciobo said on Monday that he wanted to continue direct business input in the Indonesia talks following a joint bilateral business study which helped launch the talks in 2012. But he said the talks would also reflect the government's broader policy agenda.
"This week's discussions will, I hope, provide a solid platform to really build momentum in terms of the trade."
