The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Islamabad signed an MoU with Ecommerce Pvt. Ltd on May 19, 2021, to further explore collaboration to facilitate increased trade between Indonesia and Pakistan by providing a platform for business communities of the two countries to get more information that may help increase commercial transactions.

The forum will connect exporters and importers from Indonesia and Pakistan and explore untapped trade potential in various fields such as textile, food processing, agricultural products, infrastructural development, chemical & pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, iron & steel.

On occasion, Ambassador Adam Tugio stated that the Embassy would convene a series of events to promote trade, tourism, and investment. This series of activities will complement cultural diplomacy conducted by the Embassy in collaboration with universities. He hoped that such initiatives would enhance people-to-people contacts and increase trade volume, which amounted to $2.5 billion last year. Ambassador Tugio also added that business communities need to look at Indonesia and Pakistan beyond bilateral relations. They serve as a trade gateway to each respective region that collectively has nearly 850 million populations.
