Zhou Weiliang, Secretary General of Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, pointed out in his speech: First of all, on behalf of Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, I would like to express my warm welcome and sincere gratitude to the visit of China Harbour Colombo Port City Co., Ltd.
He said: Indonesia, as the largest economy in Southeast Asia, has a population of 280 million and is the fourth most populous country in the world. Our country is not only rich in natural resources, but also has a young and vibrant labor market. In recent years, Indonesia's economy has maintained stable growth, with an average annual GDP growth rate of about 5%. The government actively promotes infrastructure construction, digital transformation and green economic development, providing broad market space and opportunities for domestic and foreign investors.
Zhou Weiliang said that Indonesia's investment environment is also constantly improving. Through a series of policy reforms, the government has simplified the investment approval process, lowered the threshold for foreign investment access, and provided tax incentives and land use convenience. Especially under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, Indonesia and China have increasingly close cooperation in the fields of infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, etc., and the cooperation between the two sides has achieved remarkable results.
He said: China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd., as a world-leading engineering contractor, has rich experience and excellent technical strength in the fields of infrastructure construction such as ports, waterways, and roads. The purpose of your company's delegation's visit is to promote the Colombo Port City project and explore cooperation opportunities with Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association and Indonesian enterprises under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. We are deeply honored and full of expectations.
He said: The Colombo Port City project is a landmark project under the Belt and Road Initiative. It has not only promoted the economic development of Sri Lanka, but also set an example for regional cooperation. We believe that through today's exchanges, both sides can deeply understand each other's needs and advantages and find more points of cooperation. Our Association will, as always, play a good role as a communication bridge between enterprises, give full play to the advantages of the platform, and make more positive contributions to the economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two sides.
Zhou Weiliang wished the China Harbour Engineering Company delegation a complete success in this visit and looked forward to our future cooperation bearing fruitful results and bringing more benefits to the people of both countries.
