The minister added, this natural wealth could be managed in the form of a joint venture, with the LPI acting as the determinant of the policy direction. In its application in the field, LPI can collaborate with third parties, including by forming a business entity, both from within and outside the country.

"For this joint venture, LPI can provide capital participation or form by making equity participation," he said.
