Bangladesh seeks Indonesia’s support for RCEP membership

Bangladesh has formally requested Indonesia’s support for its bid to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a trade bloc that includes 15 Asia‑Pacific economies.

The request was made on 9 September 2026 and comes as Bangladesh seeks to expand its trade ties and benefit from the bloc’s preferential tariff regime.

Indonesia, a founding member of RCEP, has not yet indicated whether it will back Bangladesh’s application. The move follows Bangladesh’s earlier efforts to secure membership in other regional trade agreements.

Details of the diplomatic engagement were reported by Sylhet Mirror.
