JAKARTA: The Indonesian government is seeking Saudi participation at major trade events scheduled to take place in Jakarta later this year, as the Southeast Asian nation moves to expand its trade footprint in the global market.
Saudi-Indonesia trade ties have been on the rise in recent years, with non-oil trade worth more than $3.9 billion in 2025, showing a 12 percent increase from 2021.
In recent talks with the Riyadh Chamber, Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade invited Saudi businesses to attend the 2026 editions of Halal Indonesia International Industry Expo and Trade Expo Indonesia, both of which are scheduled to be held later this year in Jakarta.
“We invite all members of the Riyadh Chamber to participate and link up with Indonesian businesses. Halal Indo 2026 and TEI 2026 are strategic platforms to strengthen and expand the business networks between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia,” Zulvri Yenni, trade attache at the Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh, said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia has been among Indonesia’s target countries amid efforts to expand many of its industries, including modest fashion exports, as officials expect more opportunities from the growth of various sectors in the Kingdom.
