Rosan Reveals Prabowo's Visit to Japan Brings Major Investment Commitments

Investment Minister and Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani has emphasised that President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Japan represents a crucial opportunity to bolster investment commitments and advance strategic projects between the two nations. The visit, held on 31 March 2026, follows up on the long-term Indonesia-Japan investment partnership while deepening economic cooperation across priority sectors. “In Japan, Indonesia secured investment commitments of around US$23.6 billion. These investments will continue to progress and deliver positive impacts on the national economy,” Rosan stated in an official release in Jakarta on Thursday (2/4/2026). During the meetings, several Japanese companies expressed concrete commitments to strategic projects in Indonesia. In the energy sector, Tokyo Gas is partnering with PLN to accelerate the development of an LNG-based, environmentally friendly gas-fired power plant project in eastern Indonesia. Meanwhile, Inpex Corporation is advancing the Abadi LNG project in the Masela Block, now entering further technical phases. Contributions are also coming from Mitsui, which has been involved in various strategic projects such as power plants, fertiliser industries, and the Jakarta MRT, and plans to expand investments into the digital economy, real estate, and retail sectors. Itochu is reinforcing its role in electricity and geothermal energy projects. Toyota continues to develop an ecosystem for environmentally friendly vehicles through automotive technology innovations. Rosan added that Japanese investment realisations in Indonesia from 2021 to 2025 reached US$17.1 billion, with an average growth of 13.2% and absorption of nearly 280,000 workers. Currently, Japan ranks as Indonesia’s fifth-largest investor.
