uinea has invited Indonesia to invest in its agricultural and mining sectors as part of efforts to further boost ties between the two countries, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi has said.
"Guinea is rich in mineral resources such as bauxite and gold. The President of Guinea has asked Indonesian investors to invest in the two fields [the agricultural and mining sectors]," Retno told reporters after a bilateral meeting between President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Guinean President Alpha Condé at the State Palace on Wednesday.
During his visit to Indonesia, Condé also visited a number of Indonesian companies such as those involved in the soy sauce industry, the banking industry and the defense industry, Retno added.
