It may be recalled that Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto visited Pakistan in December last year to strengthen bilateral ties. During the visit, the two countries signed MoUs to enhance cooperation across a wide range of areas, including trade, culture, health, education, and vocational training.
Bilateral trade between Pakistan and Indonesia stood at around $2.1 billion in 2025, with Pakistan’s exports accounting for nearly $950 million and imports from Indonesia at $1.15 billion.
The two countries have set a target to increase bilateral trade to $5 billion over the next five years, with particular emphasis on agriculture, food processing, and industrial goods.
