Islamabad: Indonesian Foreign Ministry this week granted its Embassy in Islamabad ‘Best Performance Mission’ award. The embassy has got this laurel for the second consecutive year.

“The award is recognition of active engagement of the Embassy in promoting Indonesia in the receiving country through social media platforms,” said an official statement.

“The Embassy expresses its profound gratitude and appreciation to the Indonesian diaspora, the business community and friends of Indonesia from all walks of life in Pakistan, for their valuable support and cooperation. “We look forward to continue working with you in strengthening further bilateral relationships between Indonesia and Pakistan,” it said.

This week Ambassador Adam M Tugio paid a visit to the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) office and had a detailed discussion with Senior Vice President FPCCI Amin Ullah Baig to further intensify the two-way trade activities for expanding bilateral economic relations.

During the discussion, Ambassador Tugio underlined that business communities of both the countries need to explore sectors that can complement each other. Medical equipment, spices, garment and textile could become the important trade commodities together with traditional herbal medicines, which have a great potential as they are quite popular on both sides.

The envoy also underscored the importance of utilising the current Indonesia–Pakistan Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) as well as by working together to move towards a Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

Highlighting the importance of investment in ASEAN region for expansion of trade ties, the Ambassador said that Indonesia could provide opportunities for Pakistan as a gateway to enter the ASEAN market.

He encouraged the business community of Pakistan to participate in the upcoming ‘1st Pakistan – ASEAN Trade Development Conference & Pakistan Single Country Exhibition’ in Jakarta, Indonesia and to interact with the business community of Indonesia and ASEAN for establishing active trade connections and linkages.
