Abstract

" Objective - This study aims to identify the appropriate strategy that can increase cross-border trade activities and policies that can be applied to reduce the negative impacts caused by parties who take advantage of cross-border trade. Methodology - The data were collected from interviews with informants and FGD. The data analysis technique is a qualitative and quantitative analysis developed within the study using EFAS, IFAS, and SWOT analysis. Findings - The study found that Indonesia and the Republic Democratic of Timor Leste (RDTL) border area have the potential and opportunity to be developed. The same cultural background causes cross-border trade interactions to occur between the two countries. Novelty - Belu Regency, as an area bordering the RDTL, has natural and economic potentials that can be developed as a center for small industrial development and a border area for cross-border trade. Type of Paper - Empirical"
