He urged the Vietnamese business community to explore Indonesia ’s investment and business climate and learn about the opportunities the market holds for foreign investors.
“While Indonesia is becoming more attractive to foreign investors, we sincerely look forward to Vietnamese entrepreneurs taking full advantage of what Indonesia has offered, both in terms of business and investment,” he said.
