JAKARTA - Observer and academic of International Relations at Padjadjaran University, Teuku Rezasyah, emphasized the need to socialize various investment commitments achieved by President Prabowo from a number of overseas visits in the last three months of his government.

"Socialization is very important," said Rezasyah as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, January 26.

After about three months as president, Prabowo has made various state visits to many countries around the world.

These visits have resulted in many agreements for understanding from various countries to invest in Indonesia with a value of hundreds of trillions of rupiah.

The investment agreement, according to Rezasyah, will have a very good impact on Indonesia's economic growth.

This also shows the great appreciation and commitment of foreign investors to invest in Indonesia.

"This is an award, that we are relatively stable because we respect international law relatively. And we are open to more in-depth dialogue with them," he said.

However, Rezasyah hopes that the remarks on the investment agreement need to be balanced with the government's socialization of the details of these agreements.

"So, there must be a technical team to discuss this money, this fund, so that later Indonesia will have a partnership, what technology will be used, then how many foreigners will come. Then, what kind of management, and how is it located in Indonesia, like that," said Rezasyah.

Information about the investment agreement, he said, needs to be socialized to the public, so that people are not surprised by the possibility of investing in their respective regions.

"Don't let the public be surprised, there is a work project, but the workforce is not from Indonesia," said Rezasyah further.

"This (investment report) must be opened in more detail by the institution. It also needs openness from the Indonesian government," he added.

In addition to socialization, Rezasyah also encouraged the commitment of local governments to help realize the investment.

Through this investment, Rezasyah hopes that it can encourage domestic stability, and emphasize to the public that the purpose of investment is for their own interests and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development goals.

"So, it is also necessary to commit local governments that will receive investment. That is also very important," he added.
