ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA — Indonesia and Belarus on Thursday launched a five-year strategic partnership roadmap for 2026–2030 and signed a broad package of agreements covering industry, scientific research, healthcare, financial oversight, culture and defense cooperation, marking a significant step in expanding bilateral ties and strengthening Indonesia’s economic engagement with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
The roadmap, unveiled by President Prabowo Subianto and Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko following bilateral talks at Jakarta’s Merdeka Palace, will serve as the framework for cooperation through 2030, with both countries seeking closer collaboration in trade, investment, technology and institutional development.
The agreements include cooperation on industrial development, scientific and technological research, healthcare, culture, national accreditation, financial intelligence and financial services. The two leaders also reaffirmed support for implementing the Indonesia–Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement (IEAEU FTA), which is expected to grant preferential tariff access to around 90% of Indonesian exports to Belarus once the agreement is ratified.
Speaking after the talks, Prabowo said the agreements reflected both governments’ commitment to translating longstanding diplomatic relations into practical cooperation that delivers tangible economic benefits for both countries.
The visit highlights Indonesia’s broader strategy of diversifying export markets and strengthening economic partnerships beyond its traditional trading partners, as Jakarta seeks deeper engagement with the Eurasian region through expanded trade and investment cooperation. (Midwan)
