Four countries have joined the Global Halal Mark alliance launched by the Saudi Halal Center, as the organisation moves to unify halal certification standards and strengthen cross-border trade within the global halal economy.
The announcement followed the signing of two agreements with Indonesia and Thailand during the Makkah Halal Forum, according to Abdulaziz Al-Rushodi, chief executive officer of the Saudi Halal Center, who said additional countries are expected to join the alliance.
The initiative aims to standardize halal marks internationally and enhance reliability across certification systems with participation projected to reach 10 countries by the end of the year.
