Pandjaitan, who led an Indonesian delegation of high-ranking officials, said the visit served as preparation for President Joko Widodo&#8217;s visit to Kenya in August.<\/p>\n<p>He said the two countries agreed on matters within the government-to-government and business-to-business frameworks. &#8220;We believe that the many potentials, both in G-to-G and B-to-B, are significant in strengthening relations between our two countries,&#8221; Pandjaitan said.<\/p>\n<p>The visit also resulted in some deliverables, including Pertamina&#8217;s investment plans in the upstream oil and gas industry and the geothermal sector. He said there are also plans for cooperation between Bio Farma, a leading vaccine manufacturer in Indonesia, and Kenyan SOE on vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have also agreed in planning for livestock imports, investment by Indonesian textile companies in Kenya, and plans for cooperation in the oil palm sector,&#8221; the Indonesian minister said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Kenya has a very strategic location thus a vital commodity hub with high economic value to a broader market with more than 300 million people in countries around Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Regarding G-to-G, the governments of Kenya and Indonesia have agreed on a Letter of Intent for cooperation in livestock and animal health,&#8221; Pandjaitan said.
