TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Palestinian Ambassador to Indonesia, Zuhair Al-Shun, announced that his country plans to establish cooperation with Indonesia in the agricultural sector. He revealed that the Palestinian government intends to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture.

"The signing of the MoU is expected to strengthen our relationship and cooperation in the agricultural sector," Al-Shun stated in a written statement on Friday, April 25, 2025.

Al-Shun expressed hope that if the collaboration proceeds, Palestine could send experts and professionals to Indonesia to learn through various agricultural projects.

"The Indonesian Minister of Agriculture is committed to further collaborating with the government and people of Palestine to support our agricultural sector. We hope that Indonesia will accept our experts and professionals to collaborate in Indonesia," Al-Shun added.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman, emphasized that Indonesia is ready to provide support and investment opportunities for Palestinian agricultural products in the country.

"Indonesia always supports Palestine. We appreciate it and are ready to provide opportunities for Palestine to develop their agricultural products in Indonesia," said Amran.

Amran noted that Indonesia is currently experiencing growth in agricultural productivity, particularly within the food crop subsector.

He mentioned that this achievement has caught international attention, including from neighboring countries. According to Amran, Malaysia and Japan have shown interest in learning about Indonesia’s agricultural strategies.

"Yesterday, our friendly neighbor Malaysia came here and asked for assistance as the elder brother. Today, the Palestinian Ambassador is here, and next week, a delegation from Japan will come to Indonesia to learn how we have increased productivity," Amran concluded.
