REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and U.S. delegation led by visiting Vice President Mike Pence will discuss palm oil polemic triggered by the European Parliament resolution. 

"Yes, certainly we will discuss the palm oil issue," General Chairman of Kadin Rosan Roeslani said after attending an energy forum meeting here on Thursday. 

Rosan did not go into details about the discussion with the U.S. delegation scheduled on Friday. 

The Indonesian government has denounced the European Parliament allegation, which linked the country's palm oil industry to corruption and violation of human rights.
