Belarus’s largest logistics operator, Beltamozhservice has begun services shipping freight from Belarus to Indonesia through Vladivostok in the Russian Far East.
The company said that “The comprehensive door-to-door service is built on the multimodal model: dispatch of truck for loading, railway delivery to the Port of Vladivostok and marine delivery to Jakarta Port in Indonesia.”
The service goes both ways, facilitating shipment of Belarusian goods to Indonesia and imports of Indonesian products into Belarus, with delivery in upward of 30 days. It includes insurance, document support and end-to-end freight tracking.
Beltamozhservice, which was founded by the State Customs Committee of Belarus, is the national logistics operator and a major exporter of goods from Belarusian manufacturers. The company actively uses Russian ports in its multimodal logistics.
Indonesia has a Free Trade Agreement with Belarus via the Eurasian Economic Union, which came into effect in December last year. Minsk is seeking stronger cooperation with Jakarta across trade, investment, industry, agriculture, education, health, science, culture and tourism, with Ambassador Raman Ramanouski saying last month that “Belarus views Indonesia as a true friend and strategic partner in Southeast Asia.” He highlighted closer bilateral ties following Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s state visit to Jakarta in July, where he met with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. The two Presidents agreed to strengthen political dialogue and cooperation in priority areas, including trade and economic relations, as well as launching the roadmap for the development of Indonesia-Belarus cooperation for 2026-2030. That included several key bilateral Memorandum of Understanding, including Industrial Cooperation, Cultural Cooperation, Cooperation between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Indonesia and the National Bank of Belarus; Health Cooperation between the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health of Belarus; and an Agreement on Scientific and Technical Cooperation between the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) of Indonesia and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
Bilateral economic ties have also advanced through several initiatives. In May, Airlangga Hartarto, the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs visited Minsk and co-chaired the eighth Joint Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation. The Indonesia-Belarus Business Forum was held in June during the Indonesian president’s visit, while Jakarta hosted its first national exhibition of Belarusian products in July.
Belarus currently supplies Indonesia with fertilizers and skimmed milk, supporting food security, while importing industrial products, fish, cocoa and rubber from Indonesia.
Belarus has invited Indonesia to explore cooperation in mining and agricultural equipment, waste management, transportation, energy, pharmaceuticals, information and communication technology, and artificial intelligence, while tourism has also been identified as a promising area. Belarus welcomed Indonesia’s recent decision to grant visa-free entry to Belarusian citizens, while Indonesians can also travel to Belarus visa-free. Discussions are also being held as regards potential direct Belarus-Indonesia flights. Both sides are aiming to lift bilateral trade from the US$220 million achieved in 2025 to US$500 million in the next two years.
