Dunia Kaget | Kerja Sama Baru Indonesia-Singapura Guncang Asia Tenggara, Batam Diperluas 22 Pulau

On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the Indonesia-Singapore ministerial meeting (16th 6WG MM) resulted in a historic decision: the Batam Free Trade Zone was officially expanded from 8 islands to 22—nearly tripling its previous scope.
