President Prabowo embarks on strategic visit to US

On Sunday, February 15, the President summoned several economic ministers to his private residence in Hambalang, Bogor, to discuss Indonesia’s strategic direction regarding economic negotiations.

Two key points were emphasized. First, the government must ensure that every position adopted in negotiations provides the greatest benefit to national interests.

Secondly, economic cooperation should not only be short term in nature but should also strengthen the foundation of national industry.

The President stressed that every economic policy must deliver concrete gains for Indonesia without delay.

According to Wijaya, the President expects every negotiation to help boost domestic industrial productivity while strengthening Indonesia’s position in the global industrial supply chain.

Every economic policy adopted by the government must deliver real benefits for Indonesia, he added.
