The ambassadors included Indonesian ambassador to Iran and Turkmenistan representing Middle East, ambassador to Romania representing Europe,ambassador to Cambodia representing Southeast Asia and ambassador to Peru representing Latin America.

Rahman said most potential to be studied is herbal products with the country's great biodiversity for herbs.

"We are focusing on biotechnology, therefore, we want cooperation with other state owned pharmaceutical companies - Indofarma, Kimia Farma, and Phapros to carry out research on herbal products," he said.

Indonesian ambassador to Iran and Turkmenistan representing Middle East Octavino Alimudin said the Indonesian position as a producer of vaccines and serum has been internationally recognized through Bio Farma.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْ حَاۤجَّ اِبْرٰهٖمَ فِيْ رَبِّهٖٓ اَنْ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَ ۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۙ قَالَ اَنَا۠ اُحْيٖ وَاُمِيْتُ ۗ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْتِيْ بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۚ
Tidakkah kamu memperhatikan orang yang mendebat Ibrahim mengenai Tuhannya, karena Allah telah memberinya kerajaan (kekuasaan). Ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Tuhanku ialah Yang menghidupkan dan mematikan,” dia berkata, “Aku pun dapat menghidupkan dan mematikan.” Ibrahim berkata, “Allah menerbitkan matahari dari timur, maka terbitkanlah ia dari barat.” Maka bingunglah orang yang kafir itu. Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang zalim.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 258)
