REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto hosted about 50 entrepreneurs from the United States (USA) who are members of the US-ASEAN Business Council at Istana Negara, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (3/12/2024) morning WIB. President Prabowo wearing a grey suit arrived at the State Palace at 10:03pm.

Prabowo was accompanied by Foreign Minister Sugiono, Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, Minister of Investment and Irrigation/Head of Investment Coordination Agency Rosan Roeslani and US Ambassador to Indonesia Kamala Shirin Lakhdir, as well as Chairman of the Advisory Council of Kadin Indonesia Hashim Djojohadikusumo.

When he arrived at the banquet table, Prabowo immediately encountered one by one businessmen who had previously been at the banquet table. While serenading dozens of businessmen, he also appeared to have a warm conversation and glanced at the signage to greet them.

Minister of Investment and Underwriting/Head of the Investment Coordination Board Rosan Perkasa Roeslani said that more than 50 companies attended the State Palace to meet with President Prabowo. According to Rosan, entrepreneurs want to invest more in Indonesia because of stability and peace which is one of Indonesia's main strengths.

“They are very confident about Indonesia's economic growth in the future. Most of them are already investing in Indonesia, and I've met some of them, and they want more investment in Indonesia,” Rosan said.

Businessmen, Rosan said, also believe the new leadership from President Prabowo will also bring more comfort. That's evident from the President's foreign visits to the U.S. and bilateral meetings with U.S. President Joe Biden.

“They (the businessmen) will be here for a few days. They will also meet with ministers, as well as some companies,” Rosan said
