Brunei Darussalam is interested in strengthening cooperation with Indonesia in various fields. Starting from agriculture to food and beverages. The interest was expressed by Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto after accompanying President Prabowo Subianto's visit to Brunei. "Brunei is encouraging strategic cooperation between the two countries and that includes energy, agriculture, fisheries, food and beverage industries because halal food and beverages between the two countries already have equality," he told the media at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, Jakarta, Wednesday (14/5).
Discussions on cooperation between the two countries will be carried out more intensively on Thursday (15/5) during the leaders' meeting. "We have several economic cooperations, especially the results of the CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) since 2020, trade has increased by almost 100%, then there is other strategic cooperation that will be discussed tomorrow," he explained. In addition, the government will also deliver economic deregulation policy packages in the context of negotiating import tariffs with the United States. Airlangga said it will be socialized in the near future. This is progressing and the team is already working.
