Apple CEO Tim Cook has just met President Joko Widodo at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Wednesday, to discuss the investment of the technology company from the United States in Indonesia.

"We're trying to get Jensen Huang NVidia here too. All the world's IT 'big player' is in Indonesia. This includes the industry too," said Budi Arie.

Budi emphasized that the discussion about Apple's investment as the largest technology giant from the US could make Indonesia one of the players from the world's supply chain on technology and products.

Meanwhile, Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang stated that cellphone production in Indonesia in 2023 reached 49 million units, while imports were only 2.79 million units, of which 85 percent came from Apple products.

"Therefore, the interest of Indonesia remains to create its added value in Indonesia," said Agus.
