JAKARTA \u2014<\/strong> The palm oil industry has reaffirmed its role as the main driver of economic relations between Indonesia and Pakistan. The momentum was reinforced through the event of Indonesia Palm Oil Networking Reception, which was hosted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Karachi, Pakistan, in collaboration with the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI).<\/p>\n

The event was an important part of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Pakistan, as well as a concrete follow-up to the state visit of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to Islamabad in December 2025. The forum is aimed to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation between the two countries in a more structured and oriented to long-term purpose.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to Pakistan, Chandra W. Sukotjo, emphasized that relations between the two countries have entered a new and more strategic phase. He stated that strengthening the partnership no longer solely relies on conventional trade, but also on efforts to create added value and balance economic relations.<\/p>\n

Within such context, the palm oil is seen as a key pillar of Indonesia-Pakistan cooperation. The Indonesian government is committed to promoting shared prosperity through more balanced trade relations, including opening up opportunities to increase imports from Pakistan and develop industrial cooperation beyond just trade transactions.<\/p>\n

Sukotjo also said that Karachi, as Pakistan’s economic hub and main port, is strategically positioned as the right partner for Indonesia in expanding its economic reach in the South Asian region.<\/p>\n

“This forum provides a space to strengthen trust, recognize existing partnerships, and explore new opportunities for future-oriented economic cooperation,” he said in an official statement on Sunday (January 11, 2026).<\/p>\n

From the business perspective, GAPKI Chairman Eddy Martono stated that GAPKI plays a strategic partner with the government, particularly the Indonesian Consulate General in Karachi and the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, in strengthening trade relations between the two countries. One of GAPKI’s primary roles is to provide accurate and transparent information regarding Indonesian palm oil industries.<\/p>\n

GAPKI also ensures that Indonesia remains a stable, responsible, and reliable supplier of palm oil to the Pakistani market, known as one of the world’s largest palm oil importers. Together with local partners in Pakistan, GAPKI will facilitate direct trade contracts between Indonesian producers and Pakistani buyers to ensure supply availability for food and industrial needs.<\/p>\n

Besides trading, technical cooperation in the refining and processing of palm oil has been continually promoted as part of strengthening long-term relations. GAPKI also serves as a forum for palm oil business players to provide policy inputs to the government, particularly regarding export strategies that support the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil products in the global market, including Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Historically, the Indonesia and Pakistan have seen a good trade relationship for decades. Currently, Pakistan’s palm oil needs are largely fulfilled from Indonesia. Of the approximately 150 destination countries for Indonesian palm oil exports, Pakistan ranks third.<\/p>\n

According to Oil World 2025 data, the value of Indonesian palm oil exports to Pakistan has shown a consistent upward trend from year to year. The highest spike occurred in 2024, with export volumes exceeding 3 million tons.<\/p>\n

As a concrete step to strengthen cooperation, the event also saw the signing of three important documents: a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the establishment of the Indonesia-Pakistan Joint Trade Commission, the MoU on cooperation between GAPKI and the Pakistan Edible Oil Refiners Association (PEORA), and the MoU with the Pakistan Vegetable Manufacturers Association (PVMA).<\/p>\n

Those steps are expected to lay a new foundation for a more solid, sustainable, and mutually beneficial economic partnership between Indonesia and Pakistan, with the palm oil sector as a key driver. (*)<\/p>\n
