IDXChannel - The trade exhibitions held during the 2nd Indonesia Africa Forum (IAF) and the 39th Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) in 2024 have yielded positive outcomes for Indonesia's trade relations with Namibia and Angola.
This was revealed during a series of meetings between the Indonesian Embassy in Windhoek and business representatives from Namibia, including JFT Pharma and Future Image Investment, as well as Angola's BPE, in December 2024.

During the 39th TEI in October 2024, CEO of JFT Pharma, Paulus Mwandingi, visited Bio Farma and the OTTO pharmaceutical company in Bandung to review production facilities and explore collaboration with the Mensa Group.
Following these discussions, JFT Pharma aims to receive shipments of pharmaceutical products from Indonesia by early 2025.
