The owner of Wahyu Agung Group, Junianto, flew directly to China for the agreement process and signing of the cooperation on Friday, 15 May 2026 local time.
This collaboration was initiated by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, attended by Deputy for Coordination of Trade and Digital Economy Ali Murtopo Simbolon and his staff, as well as representatives from the Chinese government, including officials from the Ministry of Commerce and the Fuzhou City Government in Fujian Province.
“This collaboration is an important step to strengthen investment, expand industrial networks, and open up new economic opportunities in various strategic sectors,” said Junianto on Saturday, 16 May 2026.
Junianto explained that the Chinese government had previously approved an investment of 8 trillion Rupiah in the second quarter of this year. This investment will be allocated to the Batang SEZ in Central Java, Tanjung Lesung, Bintan and other locations.
In addition, the Chinese government has also appointed nine leading investors who are ready to invest in sectors such as automotive, electronics, healthcare, and shipbuilding.
“There are also nine Indonesian companies that have passed the selection process and have the capabilities to collaborate in helping accelerate economic progress, one of which is Wahyu Agung Group,” he said.
He added that synergy with Chinese companies is an important momentum to increase the competitiveness of SEZs amid global investment competition.
In addition to bringing investment capital, this collaboration is also expected to bring technology transfer, improve the quality of human resources, and create new job opportunities for local communities.
Junianto also added that with this international collaboration, the development of SEZs is expected to accelerate and have a positive impact on regional economic growth.
“In addition to increasing industrial and trade activities, this collaboration is also believed to be able to strengthen Indonesia’s position as one of the investment centers in the Southeast Asian region,” he said.
