In early April, DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through JIC hosted a visit from the Bangsamoro Board of Investment (BBOI-BARMM) led by Mr. Mohamad Omar Pasigan, an autonomous region in southern Philippines with a population of 4.94 million. The delegation also visited JIC's office to explore Jakarta's investment opportunities, policy framework, and permitting mechanisms. The delegation visiting JIC was led by the Philippine Embassy. During their visit, they also engaged with representatives from Board for Regional Development Planning (Bappeda) and UP Jakarta Smart City (JSC) to learn about smart city implementation and urban development strategies. The visit also included a tour of a halal culinary industry center, where discussions centered on value-chain integration between Bangsamoro's farming and fishery sectors and halal food processing and entrepreneurship opportunities.

The visit aimed to foster collaboration between Jakarta and BARMM, positioning both regions for potential investment partnerships and knowledge exchange. The visit reinforced JIC's commitment to supporting regional collaboration and cross-border investment opportunities.
