Jakarta (VNA) - Indonesia's Ministry of Investment and Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has invited investors from the US to participate in 69 priority domestic development projects.
"There is a lot that can be done. We invite US investors to have a deeper discussion regarding the investment projects," Director of Development and Promotion at the ministry Rakhmat Yulianto said as cited by the national news agency Antara.
According to the official, the majority of these projects focus on the development of industrial infrastructure and new renewable energy (EBT) sources spread across 20 districts and cities in 13 provinces.
The construction of a hazardous materials and toxic substances management center and a solar power plant in Banten province have been included in the list of priority projects since they are directly related to the community's needs.
Indonesia has also prepared 30 special economic zones, which will help investors to achieve green energy industry goals, including investment opportunities in the health sector, Yulianto said./.
