Jakarta (Antara Bali) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has expressed hope that more Japanese industries would invest in Indonesia apart from Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC).
"Jokowi has called on more Japanese industries and not only Toyota to invest in Indonesia," Warih Andang Tjahjono, the deputy president director of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia, stated after accompanying TMC President Aiko Toyoda during a meeting with President Jokowi at the Merdeka Palace, here, Monday.
The Indonesian company is ready to support investment activities in various industries, he noted.
Meanwhile, Toyoda said his company remains committed to ensuring continued industrial development in Indonesia.
Toyodas visit was made as a reciprocal gesture to President Jokowis visit to Toyota in Japan in 2015.
TMI remains committed to contributing concretely to Indonesia.
"In this case, we have highlighted several aspects related to investment, exports, and the development of human resources," he noted.
He also remarked that the exports of Toyota products, manufactured in Indonesia, to Australia, pose both a challenge and an opportunity in order to be able to compete in the global market.
"We have to continue to cooperate with the government and other stakeholders to ensure that our products match the requirements of customers in Australia," he noted.
TMCs investment in 2015 and 2016 included the construction of a new factory and introduction of new models of products.(WDY)
