A bilateral platform enabling exporters and importers from both the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia to connect through structured B2B engagements and unlock real trade opportunities under the CEPA framework.

The Indonesia-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (I-UAE CEPA), which officially entered into force on September 1, 2023, has rapidly accelerated bilateral trade.

As Indonesia’s first comprehensive trade agreement with a Middle Eastern nation, the framework has effectively connected Southeast Asia’s largest economy with the Gulf’s premier logistics hub.
