        "content": "<p>During his recent state visit to France, President Prabowo Subianto\nengaged in strategic meetings with government officials and business\nleaders, securing several significant investment and business\nagreements. The visit yielded four commercial agreements with a total\nvalue of approximately USD 3.5 billion, or roughly IDR 62 trillion (at\nan exchange rate of IDR 17,800 per USD). These agreements focus on three\nkey pillars of the Indonesia-France economic relationship: energy,\ntrade, and defence.<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian government anticipates that these deals will not only\nincrease investment but also facilitate technology transfer and domestic\njob creation. A primary outcome is the establishment of the\nFrance-Indonesia High-Level Business Council, comprising 30 prominent\nbusiness leaders from both nations. This forum is designed to accelerate\ninvestment realisation, strengthen industrial cooperation, and expand\nmarket access. A key objective of this council is to triple bilateral\ntrade value by 2035, addressing the current trade deficit which stood at\nUSD 532 million in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Specific sectoral agreements include a collaboration between\nPertamina and SLB (Schlumberger Geophysics Nusantara) focusing on energy\ntechnology and artificial intelligence, valued between USD 250 million\nand USD 500 million. Furthermore, Pertamina is exploring a partnership\nwith TotalEnergies, with a potential value of USD 900 million to USD 2.5\nbillion, covering LNG development, biofuels, and renewable energy. In\nthe defence sector, a partnership between PT LEN and the French company\nThales is being planned, with a potential value of USD 349 million to\nUSD 465 million, focusing on the domestic production of radar systems to\nbolster national strategic industry.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond economic matters, President Prabowo also addressed education,\nexpressing the importance of mastering foreign languages, specifically\nFrench, to prepare the younger generation for global developments. He\nhas instructed that French language learning should be integrated across\nall school levels in Indonesia. This proposal has drawn attention from\nCommission X of the Indonesian Parliament, with Deputy Chairman Lalu\nHadrian Irvani calling for a thorough study to ensure the initiative\nserves practical educational purposes rather than being merely a\ndiplomatic symbol.<\/p>",
