Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Some 30 British business leaders grouped in the UK-ASEAN Business Council, will meet President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on the sidelines of British Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to Indonesia.
The British business leaders wanted to receive firsthand information about President Jokowi's maritime concept and infrastructure development plans as well as the country's Public and Private Partnership mechanism, British Ambassador to Indonesia Moazzam Malik said in a press briefing here Sunday.
The business leaders represent among other things ACE Winches, Airbus Group UK, Arup, AT Engine Controls, Atkins, Aviva, Bango, Benoy, Blockchain, Concrete Canvas, Darktrace, EarthPort, FreshMinds, Heraeus Noblelight, and Iwoca.
There will be also CEOs from JCB, Jardines, Laing O'Rourke, Lloyd's of London, Oxford Products, Pennies, Qubit, RateSetter, RepKnight, Rolls-Royce, Surrey Satellite Technology, The Floow, UK Higher Education International Unit, Weir Group, and Wessington Cryogenics.
David Cameron is scheduled to arrive in Indonesia on Monday for a two-day visit to meet with President Joko Widodo in the framework of strengthening the two countries' economic cooperation.
The visit to Indonesia will be his second since holding the prime ministerial post, Ambassador Malik said.
Cameron and Jokowi are expected to discuss financial, energy, infrastructure and technology issues.
The ambassador added that Cameron is also scheduled to hold a meeting with Indonesian business leaders.
Cameron is heading to Indonesia on the first stop of a four-day tour intended to drum up trade for Britain.
But he will also use meetings with President Joko Widodo in Jakarta and later Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia to raise the threat from the extremists, according to skynews.com.
Around 500 people from Indonesia - which has the world's largest Muslim population - and 200 from Malaysia are thought to have joined IS in Iraq and Syria.
Cameron will offer more practical counter-terrorism co-operation to the countries, such as disrupting foreign fighters and improving aviation security.
Speaking ahead of his departure for Indonesia, Cameron said IS is one of the biggest threats our world has faced.
"We will only defeat these brutal terrorists if we take action at home, overseas and online and if we unite with countries around the world unite against this common enemy," the prime minister was quoted as saying by the Australian media. (WDY)
