The vice president said that in 2022 the trend of trade value between the two countries has increased significantly, amounting to 82 million US dollars.

"I hope that all the leading commodities of the Indonesian and Uzbekistan halal industries can continue to be explored and realized in concrete cooperation between entrepreneurs and between governments," said the Vice President.

During the hearing, one of the audience participants from Uzbekistan, namely Sanjay Turdiev from Ziyarah Travel, conveyed the idea to the Vice President regarding the possibility of introducing clerics from Uzbekistan to schools in Indonesia as an effort to increase cooperation in the field of education.

The vice president welcomed the idea and according to the vice president, online meetings became an effective strategy to attract tourism interest, both in Indonesia and Uzbekistan.

He revealed the issue of licensing for quarantine imports of fruit products from Indonesia and the issue of licensing quarantine permits in the Uzbekistan region.

"Regarding transportation, this is also related to problems for us because of distance constraints, via airplanes, but products do not last long. We want to ask whether it is possible for an Indonesian party to cooperate in the transportation sector?" asked Iskandar.

The Vice President said that the Indonesian government is ready to support these logistical efforts, and based on information obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cooperation is currently being explored in the field of logistics transportation between Indonesia and Uzbekistan.
