Prabowo Subianto, the President of Indonesia, recently spoke at a Business Forum Dinner in Jakarta, urging Chinese business leaders to consider diversifying their investments in Indonesia. Rather than focusing solely on natural resources, Prabowo encouraged them to explore strategic sectors such as education, healthcare, tourism, and science and technology. He emphasized the importance of a long-term partnership between the two countries and the potential for mutual benefits in these diversified sectors. Prabowo commended the successful collaborations between Indonesia and China, pointing to projects like the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail and initiatives for nickel processing. However, he also stressed the need for a more diverse investment approach that could lead to tangible social impacts. By viewing China not just as an investor but as a partner for learning, production, and global market entry, Indonesian entrepreneurs could take advantage of the opportunities presented. Prabowo highlighted the significance of strong economic connections in strengthening social and cultural ties between the two nations. He expressed optimism for the future, seeing the partnership with China as a step towards a brighter tomorrow.
