Beijing (Antara Bali) - During a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe here on Monday, Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo highlighted his country's need for greater investment in the manufacturing industry.
"Relations between Indonesia and Japan are very good, and in the future, it will continue to be stepped up, particularly in the field of investment," President Jokowi emphasized.

He remarked that by investing in Indonesia, Japan is keen to contribute to its industrial and human resource development.
After an hour-long bilateral meeting with Abe, President Jokowi then held similar meetings with US President Barack Obama, Vietnam's President Truong Tan Sang, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
