Additionally, both countries agreed to cooperate in food security, such as technology transfer and the development of three halal industrial zones in Bintan, Serang, and Sidoarjo.
In the realm of social and cultural affairs, the focus of cooperation was on strengthening health transformation through the construction of hospitals and clinics, capacity building for medical personnel, and healthcare digitization. Furthermore, the development of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for Health in Bali was also part of the collaboration agenda.
