T
he Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and the Indonesian Consulate General (KJRI) in Osaka have agreed to cooperate to attract investment in the maritime sector by Japanese business players in Osaka and its surrounding areas.
BKPM head Franky Sibarani and Indonesian Consul General in Osaka Wisnu Edi Pratignyo signed the agreement in a meeting in Osaka on Sunday evening, Antara reported.
Franky said that Japanese businesspeople in Osaka and its surrounding areas were keen to invest in Indonesia, especially in the fishery and shipyard sectors.
'The BKPM through its representative in Tokyo will intensify coordination to facilitate investors to be able to immediately invest in Indonesia,' he said.
To follow up on the agreement, the BKPM representative in Tokyo and the Osaka Consulate General intend to routinely hold investor forums and visit investors in Osaka.
Investors in Osaka have reportedly frequently made inquiries about investment potentials at the Consulate General in Osaka, which directs them to the BKPM representative in Tokyo.
'In the future, we plan to be more proactive [in capturing investment potentials] by visiting investors in Osaka and its surrounding areas,' said Franky. (ebf)
