Attending the meeting were Donny Purnomo, Secretary-General and Deputy Director of BSN, Liu Jiang, the Deputy Managing Director of CQC, and other representatives from both sides.
Liu Jiang expressed that as a globally renowned and domestically leading quality service organization, CQC has always upheld the crucial mission of delivering trust, serving development, and facilitating international trade. The cooperation with BSN marks a further deepening of the cooperative relationship between the two countries in the field of conformity assessment, which will undoubtedly enhance the exchange of conformity assessment technologies and economic and trade interactions between the two nations. It is believed that with the joint efforts of both sides, it will further promote bilateral trade development and bring more benefits to the people of both countries.
Donny Purnomo noted that trade between China and Indonesia has become increasingly frequent, with bilateral trade volumes continuing to grow. Against this backdrop, it is important for both sides to strengthen cooperation in standardization and conformity assessment. As Indonesia's standardization authority, BSN plays a pivotal role in the country's economic and social development. The collaboration with CQC signifies a profound consensus reached by both sides in standardization and conformity assessment, which holds great significance for jointly promoting the sustained and healthy development of bilateral trade between the two countries.
Under the agreement, both parties will actively collaborate in standardization and conformity assessment, strengthening exchanges on standards, conformity assessment systems, and other aspects. They will also promote mutual recognition of voluntary standards and certification results, jointly conduct learning and training activities, further enhance product quality, and jointly facilitate trade and promote the healthy development of bilateral economic and trade relations.
In the future, CQC will continue to actively respond to the "Belt and Road" Initiative, providing more high-quality and efficient services to actively promote exchanges and cooperation in the field of conformity assessment between the two sides. It aims to provide convenient quality certification services to more enterprises and promote mutually beneficial and win-win economic relations between China and Indonesia.
