The deal has been in the works since 2010, but was thrown into turmoil when Prime Minister Scott Morrison proposed shifting Australia's embassy to Jerusalem.
A long-awaited trade deal between Indonesia and Australia will be signed next week, Jakarta said on Thursday, after months of diplomatic tension over Canberra's contentious plan to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
Indonesian trade minister Enggartiasto Lukita and his Australian counterpart Simon Birmingham are set to sign the multi-billion-dollar agreement in Jakarta on Monday, according to a trade ministry invitation sent to journalists.
The pact will include improved access for Australian cattle and sheep farmers to Indonesia's 260 million people, while Australian universities, health providers and miners will also benefit from easier entry to Southeast Asia's biggest economy.
