'RRI' to air business forum

JAKARTA (JP): PT Harvest International Indonesia and the state-run radio network Radio Republic Indonesia (RRI) will jointly stage an interactive business forum beginning next week.

Company president Harvey Goldstein said on Thursday that the program would provide opportunities for foreign investors in Indonesia to engage in frank dialog with Cabinet ministers and senior government officials.

"It is expected to greatly speed up the recovery of foreign investors' confidence in the country's economy and the apparent indecisiveness in making important investment decisions," Goldstein said.

Participants are also expected to ask questions which until now have remained unanswered, he added.

The program will be held every Tuesday from 7 a.m to 8:30 a.m and will be broadcast live by RRI nationwide.

There will be a speaker and a panel discussion moderated by an expert on the day's topic. The invited guests will be given the opportunity to ask questions and address their concerns to the speaker and panelists. (gis)
