Malaysia, Indonesia to lead establishment of Asean Halal Council, says Zahid
KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 — Malaysia and Indonesia are set to lead the establishment of the Asean Halal Council to position the bloc as a global model for the halal industry, built on high standards and integrity, and to emerge as a competitive, inclusive and sustainable global halal hub, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The deputy prime minister said that with the global halal market projected to reach USD5 trillion (USD1 = RM4.22) by 2030, Asean must emerge as a leader in developing a complementary and competitive regional halal ecosystem. Ahmad Zahid, who also chairs the Halal Industry Development Council of Malaysia, said both countries had agreed to jointly spearhead the formation of the Asean Halal Council this year. 'This will serve as a strategic platform to systematically align halal policies, standards and regulations among Asean countries. We are strongly committed to elevating halal cooperation to a higher level, focusing on strengthening the position of both countries' halal products in regional and global markets. 'This collaboration will also be a testament to the success of Malaysia's 'Halal Diplomacy' in strengthening the national halal brand globally,' he said in a statement following a strategic meeting with Indonesia's head of the Halal Product Assurance Organising Agency (BPJPH), Haikal Hassan Baras, on the sidelines of the 46th Asean Summit here today. Ahmad Zahid said Malaysia and Indonesia would intensify joint efforts in halal certification, education, research and halal workforce development. He said Malaysia also fully supports expert exchange programmes, joint training and collaborative research to strengthen the Asean halal value chain. Both countries also agreed to expand halal trade by easing market access for halal products and enhancing mutual recognition of halal certification. 'This move will facilitate smoother and more industry-friendly halal trade flows, while supporting the growth of intra-Asean trade. It is expected to have a positive impact on halal market demand in Asean, which comprises nearly 700 million people,' he said. Ahmad Zahid noted that the meeting was a continuation of his recent official visit to Indonesia, which marked the beginning of deeper collaboration between the two nations in leading the development of the regional halal industry. — Bernama

Ahmad Zahid chairs Malaysia-Indonesia halal industry roundtable
JAKARTA: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Tuesday led the Malaysia-Indonesia Halal Industry Collaboration Roundtable, a strategic platform underscoring both nations' shared commitment to regional cooperation and inclusive growth within the global halal economy. The discussions focused on tackling trade-related challenges, exploring investment opportunities, and promoting joint ventures between Malaysian and Indonesian businesses. The roundtable also aimed to strengthen ASEAN-wide halal cooperation, positioning the region to tap into the projected US$5 trillion (US$1=RM4.383) global halal market by 2030. 'The session emphasised actionable strategies to sustain and grow bilateral trade flows while capitalising on each country's comparative advantages,' he said in a statement today. Ahmad Zahid emphasised that both nations will drive inclusive growth and create complementary value for the respective halal economies by aligning Malaysia's Halal Industry Master Plan 2030 (HIMP 2030) and Indonesia's halal economy roadmap. The roundtable, organised by the Halal Development Corporation Bhd (HDC), an agency under the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), continues its mission to strengthen Malaysia's footprint in the halal industry. The roundtable also emphasised Malaysia's globally recognised halal ecosystem and its crucial role as ASEAN chair in 2025, while bringing together key stakeholders from Malaysia and Indonesia.

In June 2023, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and Indonesia's Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal (BPJPH) signed a cooperation agreement on mutual recognition of halal certificates. The agreement has streamlined market access by eliminating redundant certification processes, simplifying cross-border trade for certified products in both countries. Trade figures underscore the significance of Malaysia-Indonesia economic ties in the halal industry, with Malaysia exporting RM7.77 billion worth of halal-certified products to Indonesia between 2021 and 2023. The roundtable meeting featured participation from prominent entities, including JAKIM, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), BPJPH, Komite Nasional Ekonomi dan Keuangan Syariah (KNEKS), and Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia (KADIN).
