President Prabowo's Visit, Indonesia Has Strategic Opportunities to Market UMKM Products in Japan

Tokyo, Japan - President Prabowo Subianto was greeted warmly by the Indonesian diaspora during his visit to Tokyo, Japan, Sunday, March 29. One of them came from Sari Okano, representative of the Indonesian Muslim Business Association (IPEMI) in Japan.

With a happy expression, he admitted that the moment of meeting directly with President Prabowo was a very memorable experience and also aroused new optimism.

For Sari and other diaspora entrepreneurs, President Prabowo's presence in the Sakura State is not just a ceremonial visit, but a strong signal to strengthen bilateral economic relations that are more concrete and have a direct impact.

He assessed that this visit brought positive energy, even he called it a "great aura" which is believed to be able to encourage Indonesian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to be more aggressive in penetrating the Japanese market.

Until now, diasporas like him have been active as a bridge for local products to be able to compete abroad.

Furthermore, Sari emphasized the importance of increasing the competitiveness of Indonesian products in the Asian market. He hopes that national products will no longer be in a position behind other countries.
