Busan, South Korea (B2B) - The Indonesian government should be the one to determine locations of investment projects, not investors, to ensure equal distribution of investment projects in regions.

"I just told them that it should be us (the government) and not them (investors) who should determine where an investment project should be established. This is to ensure that projects are distributed fairly among regions and are not centered in Java," President Joko Widodo stated after meeting with a number of South Korean business leaders.

President Widodo added that the governments view received positive responses and that many businessmen had expressed interest in investing in the country in petrochemical industries, electricity plants, and other sectors.

"It seems that the investment atmosphere and the perception that we are seeking to build have been understood by the investors here, especially the big ones," he remarked.

At the meeting, Jokowi was flanked by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Sofyan Djalil, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, Indonesian Ambassador to South Korea John A. Prasetyo, investment official Himawan H. Djojokusumo, and an economic ministry official, Luky Eko Wuryanto.
