TAIPEI (Taiwan News) –Taiwan is seeking to forge closer bilateral ties with Indonesia as the “New Southbound Policy” forges ahead. Indonesian president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) told the press that if Taiwanese businesses have an interest in investing in Indonesia, he will provide all the needed resources and help to resolve problems like obtaining investment permits and acquiring land.

According to Business Weekly, Jokowi promised to offer assistance in facilitating cooperation between businesses, as there are plenty of opportunities and spaces to be filled in Indonesia’s manufacturing industry.

He also indicated in the interview with Business weekly that Taiwan and Indonesia’s business relationship is one with over thirty years of history, and that Taiwanese businessmen should recognize the potential of Indonesia’s market. Indonesia has recently introduced plans to relax 16 restrictions on foreign investments to encourage more investors to come to the country.    [FULL  STORY]
