TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Trade Ministry is working with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to strengthen national export by increasing domestic and foreign investment.


"Investment and trade are important because investment can enhance production capacity to improve export that will eventually strengthen the economy," said Trade Minister Muhammad Luthfi during a "Trade Investment" seminar in Jakarta on Thursday, October 9, 2014.


He said the forum is a place to communicate the policies of the government in facing challenges and opportunities in global trade.


"We hope this seminar can build positive synergy between the government and the business world in boosting investment and trade," he said.


BKPM chief Mahendra Siregar echoed Luthfi's statement, saying that he is pumped up to encourage Indonesian investors to dominate foreign market.


He hoped that investment overseas could increase exports of Indonesian products and build international network. "Investment overseas can expand business partners and boost local product exports," Mahendra said.


Investment in export and local raw material-oriented industries is one of the priorities. "Indonesian can hopefully become a production basis, especially in Asia Pacific," he said.
