Indonesia, Singapore to sign 26 bilateral agreements

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia’s Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya announced that President Prabowo Subianto and Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong are scheduled to sign 26 bilateral agreements during their annual leaders' meeting on Monday.

"At the annual meeting between the Indonesian President and the Singaporean Prime Minister, there will be 26 agreements signed," Teddy confirmed on Monday.

Prime Minister Wong arrived in Indonesia on Sunday evening (July 5) and was welcomed by Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Sugiono, along with several officials from the Red and White Cabinet.

President Prabowo is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Wong later on Monday.

The memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to be signed include cooperation in the environmental sector as well as collaboration on carbon trading.

Ahead of the leaders' meeting, Indonesia and Singapore had already strengthened their environmental partnership by signing an MoU on environmental protection. The agreement was signed by Indonesia's Environment Minister Mohammad Jumhur Hidayat and Singapore's Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu in Jakarta on June 29, 2026.

The MoU serves as an umbrella framework for future cooperation in areas including the circular economy, waste management, environmental protection, transboundary pollution control, and climate change mitigation.

Indonesia's Ministry of Environment will also prioritize human resource capacity building to better prepare the country for the transition to a low-carbon economy.

To support this objective, Indonesia and Singapore will regularly conduct technical personnel exchanges, undertake joint research initiatives, and develop environmentally friendly and sustainable pilot projects.

The two countries will also facilitate technology transfer to accelerate innovation in environmental management.
