Investment Climate Improved - Japan
The Japanese government acknowledges Indonesia’s progress in improving its investment climate that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will bring 150 top Japanese business executives when he visits Jakarta on August 19-21, a Japanese official said Thursday (16/8/07).
The Japanese prime minister's visit will mark more progressive bilateral relations between Japan and Indonesia, Director General for Media Relations of the Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry Mitsuo Sakaba told Antara.
Abe and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono are scheduled to sign an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in which Indonesian products will be allowed to swamp Japanese markets. The EPA between Indonesia and Japan would also enable Indonesian semi-professional workers to enter Japan.
Sakaba said a good investment climate should be developed jointly by both countries. "There is tight competition among Asian countries in attracting Japanese investment," he added.
Indonesia, as a large country, has exceptional potentials that could attract investors, Sakaba said.
