Indonesian Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry and CEO of Indonesian Sovereign Wealth Fund (Danantara), Rosan Roeslani, arrived in Islamabad on Monday evening at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the visiting minister was received at the airport by the director general-East Asia Pacific (MOFA) and the Ambassador of Indonesia.

During his visit, Minister Roeslani will hold comprehensive talks with the deputy prime minister on the prospects of enhancing Pakistan-Indonesia partnership in the domain of trade and investment, the ministry said in a statement issued on X (formerly Twitter).

The visit is expected to strengthen bilateral economic ties between the two countries, the Foreign Office added.

In January, Pakistan and Indonesia strengthened their economic partnership with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the establishment of the Joint Trade Committee, creating an institutional platform to enhance trade dialogue.

Earlier, in December, the two countries signed seven MoU’s and agreements to enhance bilateral cooperation in diverse fields. These included cooperation in higher education, a grant program for Indonesian state scholarships, facilitation of business development for small and medium enterprises, collaboration between national archives, narcotics control, and cooperation in preventing and combating illicit drug trafficking, cooperation in Halal trade and certification, and cooperation in the field of health.
