Armenia–Indonesia relations refer to foreign relations between Armenia and the Republic of Indonesia. Both nations are members of the Asian Development Bank, the World Trade Organization and the United Nations.
History
On September 22, 1992, diplomatic ties were established between Indonesia and Armenia.[1] Despite this, Indonesia backs Azerbaijan's stance on the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute in international fora.[2]
The two nations established a bilateral advisory forum and signed a double taxation avoidance agreement on October 12, 2005. The two nations inked a deal on economic, scientific, and technological cooperation on August 8, 2012. An agreement to cooperate in the areas of education and higher education was signed by the two nations on November 1, 2016.[1]
President Joko Widodo of Indonesia declared on January 13, 2020, in an Abu Dhabi bilateral meeting with President Armen Sarkissian of Armenia, that the two nations' long-standing historical ties between them should be fostered into a bilateral mutual partnership. He also prioritized increased cooperation between Armenia and Indonesia in the field of information technology (IT).[3]
On September 22, 2020, the foreign ministers of Armenia and the Republic of Indonesia exchanged messages commemorating the 30th anniversary of the two countries' diplomatic relations' establishment. Ararat Mirzoyan, the foreign minister of Armenia, placed emphasis on the growth of cooperative relationships on both bilateral and multilateral forums. He expressed optimism that with concerted efforts, Armenian-Indonesian cooperation can reach new heights. The Indonesian side values collaboration within the parameters of the free trade agreement that Indonesia and the EAEU would eventually finalize, as well as tighter connections in the areas of trade and information technology.[4]
The President of Armenia, Vahagn Khachaturyan, received a Letter of Credence from President Joko Widodo from the Indonesian Ambassador to Ukraine, Arief Basalamah, at the Presidential Palace in Yerevan on November 15, 2023. The Armenian president seeks to strengthen Indonesian-Armenian economic cooperation. The Indonesian ambassador also reaffirmed his commitment to promoting increased investment and trade. One way he plans to do this is by hosting regular business forums in Indonesia, such as the Indonesia - Europe Business Forum and Trade Expo Indonesia, which are yearly events that aim to investigate trade and investment prospects between the two nations and involve Armenian businesspeople.[5]
Trade
In 2018, trade between the two countries amounted to about $27 million.[1]
Armenia exported $891 thousand to Indonesia in 2021. Ferroalloys ($41.2 thousand), Pure Olive Oil ($23.4 thousand), and Other Edible Preparations ($773 thousand) are Armenia's top exports to Indonesia. Armenian exports to Indonesia have grown at a yearly rate of 9.67% during the past 24 years, from $97.1 thousand in 1997 to $891 thousand in 2021.
Indonesia exported $18.9 million to Armenia in 2021. Coffee ($10.9 million), raw plastic sheeting ($1.51 million), and stone processing machines ($1.49 million) were Indonesia's top exports to Armenia. Indonesian exports to Armenia have grown at an annualized rate of 21.5% over the past 24 years, from $175 thousand in 1997 to $18.9 million in 2021.[6]
Diplomatic missions
- Armenia maintains an embassy in Jakarta.[7]
- Indonesia has no diplomatic presence in Armenia.
