Korea and Indonesia have reached an agreement to strengthen their partnership in halal certification, with Seoul's drug ministry confirming the news on Friday. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea collaborated with Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency, also known as BPJPH, to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at the Halal Summit 20 held in Depok, Indonesia.
Halal certification is a crucial verification process ensuring that products, ingredients, and manufacturing processes adhere to Islamic law. Indonesia is recognized as one of the world's largest halal markets, and it is set to enforce mandatory halal certification for various items, including food and cosmetics, starting next month.
This agreement is a result of Korea and Indonesia elevating their bilateral relations to a special comprehensive strategic partnership during President Lee Jae Myung's official visit to Indonesia in March.
