In his remarks, the Chargé d'Affaires (KUAI) of the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore, Didik Eko Pujianto, said DKI Jakarta province is a very special province and is no stranger to Singaporean investors.
As the capital of Indonesia, the province of DKI Jakarta, with a population of more than 11 million, is the most developed province in Indonesia, he remarked.
