Speaking after a meeting with a delegation from the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) in Jakarta on Tuesday, Kartasasmita said that Korean entrepreneurs expressed strong interest in investing across various sectors in Indonesia.
“There are encouraging signs that Korean companies will continue to commit to and support Indonesia’s economic development through their investments,” he stated.
Kartasasmita noted that several South Korean firms plan to expand operations and build new factories in Indonesia, citing positive perceptions of the country’s investment potential.
“They see Indonesia as a highly promising investment destination,” he added.
He emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring that incoming investments proceed smoothly. Efforts will also be made to resolve any regulatory or logistical barriers that could hinder the investment process.
“Investment should be a win-win. Indonesia must benefit, and so must the investors—in this case, our Korean partners,” Kartasasmita said.
On Monday, President Prabowo Subianto also welcomed FKI delegates during a courtesy visit at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta.
FKI is dedicated to accelerating South Korea’s economic transformation by promoting entrepreneurship, advancing future industries, and creating high-quality employment opportunities.
It works alongside the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Korea International Trade Association, and the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises.
FKI currently represents 420 member companies, including leading corporations such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG, POSCO, GS Corporation, Hanwha, Kumho Industrial, and Doosan Construction.
