(Jakarta Training) Chairman Jiang Zhangdi, Executive Chairman Ye Sunbo, Supervisor Zheng Yongcun and other economic and trade delegations of Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association visited Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association at 2:30 pm on December 5, 2024 (Thursday). They were welcomed by Vice Chairman Chen Xin, Secretary-General Zhou Weiliang, and Supervisory Committee Member Chen Boyan and other directors. Representatives of both sides exchanged views on market expansion: jointly develop the industrial automation market in the two countries and Southeast Asia, and promote advanced automation equipment and solutions.
Vice Chairman Chen Xin said that he was very happy that Chairman Jiang led the Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association to visit Indonesia today. Here, on behalf of Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome and sincere greetings to everyone!
With the achievements made in Indonesia's economic and social construction in recent years, the sovereign rating of Indonesia by international mainstream rating agencies has also risen year by year. As the largest economy in ASEAN, Indonesia has a population of 280 million, accounting for about 40% of the total population of ASEAN. At the same time, Indonesia's huge domestic consumer market has also become the largest and most important market in Southeast Asia.
In recent years, the Indonesian government has insisted on developing "important mineral downstream industries", effectively increasing the added value of Indonesia's raw materials, and promoting the rapid development of industries such as mineral processing and refining, battery industry, and electric vehicle manufacturing. At the same time, it has continuously improved and optimized the service measures for attracting investment, and introduced a series of policies and regulations to encourage and stimulate economic development. The introduction of the "Comprehensive Employment Law" in 2020 has opened up a wider range of investment areas to foreign capital and lowered the entry threshold. It also allows more outstanding companies with advanced technology and management experience to join the current economic and social construction in Indonesia.
Chen Xin said that Guangdong is the province with the highest GDP in China and the leader of China's economy. Foshan, as an economic center of Guangdong Province, is well-known overseas as a business card of Made in China. Today, we are very happy that Chairman Jiang personally led a delegation to visit us, and we also welcome entrepreneurs from Foshan to bring advanced manufacturing technology and processes to Indonesia and participate in Indonesia's economic and social construction together.
Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association will continue to actively leverage the advantages of the platform to provide necessary consultation and assistance. We look forward to the entrepreneurs of our two countries working together to create a better future of cooperation. Finally, I wish you all a successful trip to Indonesia and a prosperous career!
President Jiang Zhangdi pointed out that on behalf of the Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association, I would like to express my warmest congratulations and most sincere greetings to Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to visit this time, so that we have the opportunity to deeply understand Indonesia's business environment and development opportunities, and discuss cooperation and development in the field of industrial automation with all colleagues.
As an important force in promoting the technological progress and industrial upgrading of industrial automation in Foshan, the Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association has been committed to promoting exchanges and cooperation among member companies and promoting the innovation and application of industrial automation technology. We believe that through this visit, we can further deepen our ties with the Indonesian industrial community, jointly explore cooperation opportunities in the field of industrial automation, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
As an important economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has rich resources and a vast market, and its development potential in the field of industrial automation is huge. In recent years, as the Indonesian government has paid more and more attention to infrastructure construction and industrial upgrading, the application demand for industrial automation technology has also increased. This provides a broad market space and cooperation opportunities for member companies of the Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association.
At the same time, we also see that Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association has played an important role in promoting economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges between China and Indonesia. Your Chamber of Commerce not only has rich experience and resources in the business field, but also has carried out extensive exchanges and cooperation in many fields such as culture, education, and technology. We believe that through cooperation with your Chamber of Commerce, we can better understand the Indonesian market and culture and provide stronger support for the development of member companies in Indonesia.
Here, I sincerely hope that the Foshan Industrial Automation Industry Association and Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association can establish a long-term cooperative relationship and jointly promote cooperation and development in the field of industrial automation. We will wholeheartedly provide high-quality services and platforms for both companies to promote exchanges and cooperation between the two companies and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
