On Monday, September 7, 2026, four personnel representing the Vice Chair of US Cooperation for Kadin DIY visited APIKRI. The delegation was warmly received by a comprehensive internal team consisting of three board members , two supervisory board members, and two operational staff members.

The primary objective of the visit was to explore strategic collaboration through the establishment of an "APIKRI-Hub." Beyond structural cooperation, the dialogue focused heavily on broadening market reach and accelerating product expansion across both domestic and international channels by leveraging shared networks and promotional frameworks.

Both parties anticipate that this initial engagement will yield tangible follow-up actions and positive long-term impacts. Through the planned partnership, APIKRI hopes to significantly elevate its market visibility and connect local artisan products with broader global trade opportunities.
