Indonesia’s Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) has officially recognized Lithuania’s World Halal Trust (WHT) as an accredited foreign halal institution. The certification was awarded following a comprehensive evaluation by a cross-sectoral team and represents Indonesia’s continued efforts to strengthen international halal cooperation.

Ceremony and Official Recognition

BPJPH Director Ahmad Haikal Hasan formally presented the accreditation certificate to WHT representative Farouk during a ceremony in Jakarta. This recognition authorizes the Lithuanian organization to conduct halal certification within its home country, with such certifications being accepted by Indonesian authorities.

Strategic Importance of the Accreditation

According to Hasan, this accreditation goes beyond mere administrative procedures, representing a mutual commitment to maintaining globally recognized halal standards. The recognition enables better assurance of halal status for products that enter, circulate, and are traded within Indonesia’s market.

Broader International Cooperation Efforts

The BPJPH continues to expand its network of international partnerships to ensure comprehensive halal product oversight. The agency recently engaged with European Union representatives to discuss Indonesia’s evolving halal policies and regulatory framework, demonstrating its proactive approach to international coordination.

Commitment to Stakeholder Engagement

Hasan emphasized that the BPJPH remains committed to collaborating with various stakeholders while ensuring all international partnerships align with Indonesia’s halal product assurance requirements. The agency actively responds to inquiries and provides clarity on halal services to keep all parties informed about regulatory updates and mandatory halal certification policies.
