Envoy invites Pakistan to Expo Indonesia 2024

Consul General of Indonesia in Karachi, Dr June Kuncoro Hadiningrat, highlighted the potential for expanding the bilateral trade basket of exportable and importable items between the two countries, which is currently limited to a few products. He emphasised the need to strengthen bilateral trade and economic relations between Pakistan and Indonesia during a meeting with the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI)’s Central Standing Committee on Diplomatic Affairs. He invited Pakistani businesses to attend Expo Indonesia in October 2024, a platform to expand interactions and explore trade opportunities.

FPCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh said Pakistan needs to work with Indonesia to formulate a free trade agreement to rectify the bilateral trade deficit, which has been up to $3 billion each year consecutively for the past many years. “We should work on brand Pakistan through single-country exhibitions, exchange of delegations etcetera,” he said.
