PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), as Pertamina’s Upstream Subholding, has work areas spread throughout Indonesia and abroad. The operational activities for overseas work areas are managed by Regional International or PT Pertamina Internasional EP (PIEP).

Pertamina’s Upstream Subholding, in synergy with the Indonesian Embassy in Alger, participated in the Alger International Exhibition or Foire Internationale D’Alger (FIA) at the Palais des Expositions SAFEX Alger, June 13 – 17, 2022.

Local hero of Batik Craft, Tinah, and local hero of Kopi Puntang Wangi, Deni Sofian Dimyati, interacted directly with exhibition visitors who witnessed the batik-making process and tasting Indonesian coffee. The exhibition was opened by the President of Algeria, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, at Safex on Monday (13/06).

The Indonesian Ambassador to Algeria, Chalief Akbar Tjandraningrat, conveyed his hope, “We hope that Indonesia’s participation in FIA activities can improve bilateral relations between Indonesia and Algeria in the economic field, especially trade, investment, and tourism, as well as promote Indonesian cultural diversity to the Algerian people,” said Chalief.
