        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised that openness to foreign\ninvestment, including from the United States, will continue to be\npursued in accordance with national interests. The government ensures\nthat every investment cooperation must comply with applicable\nregulations, particularly in the management of natural resources. The\nPresident stressed that discussions regarding tariff agreements do not\nalter the fundamental principles in managing investments in Indonesia.\n\u201cRegarding critical minerals, I have already said we are open, but\neverything at market price, at economic price,\u201d Prabowo stated in his\nremarks on Saturday (21\/3). The President explained that the involvement\nof foreign investors in the mining sector has been ongoing for a long\ntime and is part of the national economic policy. Downstreaming Becomes\nthe Main Requirement for Investment Despite opening opportunities for\ninvestment, the government has set the main requirement in the form of a\ndownstreaming obligation in every mining activity. Indonesia does not\npermit the export of raw materials without undergoing processing in the\ncountry. This policy aims to increase the added value of natural\nresources while strengthening the national industry. Prabowo emphasised\nthat investors can still operate in the mining sector as long as they\nfollow those provisions. He described critical minerals as strategic\ncommodities that must provide maximum economic benefits for the\ncountry.<\/p>",
