Prabowo Subianto, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, recently addressed Chinese business leaders to encourage them to diversify their investments in Indonesia. He emphasized the importance of exploring strategic sectors such as education, healthcare, tourism, and science and technology, moving beyond the traditional focus on natural resources. This call to action took place during a Business Forum Dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta, where Chinese Premier Li Qiang and a group of Chinese investors were in attendance. President Prabowo highlighted the potential for mutual benefits in these sectors, not only for Indonesia and China but also for the broader Asian region. He praised the existing collaborations between the two nations, citing projects like the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail and initiatives for nickel processing. However, Prabowo stressed the need for a more diversified investment approach that focuses on high-value sectors capable of generating tangible social impacts. He encouraged Indonesian entrepreneurs to see China as more than just an investor but as a partner for learning, production, and accessing the global market. Prabowo also underlined the significance of strong economic ties as a foundation for deeper social and cultural connections, commending China’s support for developing nations and global justice initiatives. Looking ahead, President Prabowo expressed optimism for the future, viewing the partnership with China as a step towards a brighter and more promising tomorrow.
