The United States has offered to cooperate with Indonesia in vaccine production during the visit of Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Pandjaitan to Washington, DC. 

Acting as President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s special envoy, Luhut and Indonesian Ambassador to the US Muhammad Lutfi were received by US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday local time, according to a statement issued by Luhut’s office. 

Trump was accompanied by his advisors Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and CEO of the US International Development Finance Corporation Adam Boehler.

“In addition to meeting with President Donald Trump, Coordinating Minister Luhut was also welcomed by the US Vice President Mike Pence at his office. Pence offers joint vaccine production cooperation between US and Indonesian companies,” the statement read.

As new COVID-19 cases and fatalities continue to soar, the Indonesian government appears to be pinning its hopes on vaccine development and sought supplies of vaccines from around the world, in addition to developing its own vaccine. 

In early October, Luhut also led a delegation to Yunnan, China, to finalize the purchase deal of a large bulk of potential vaccines with Chinese vaccine producers Sinovac and Cansino, as well as Sinopharm, which is partnering with Abu Dhabi-based healthcare firm G42.
