BOGOR - British Foreign Minister Elizabeth Mary Truss or known as Liz Truss is expected to visit creative economy actors who have attended training from the country's embassy in Indonesia.

"The British Foreign Minister is planned to come on Friday (12/11) and will be accompanied by the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil (Kang Emil) and the Mayor of Bogor Bima Arya at the Bogor Creative Center," said Head of the KIP Division of the Bogor City Communications and Information Office, Abdul Manan Tampubolon as quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 11.

Manan said Liz Truss' visit to the Bogor Creative Center (BCC) was part of her two-day visit to Indonesia.

Liz will attend the launch of the Nurture to Scale program to support the increase of Indonesian start-ups.

The British Foreign Minister visited Indonesia as a country with the fourth-largest population in the world, which is projected to become the 4th largest economy in the world by 2050.

This is the last visit on the agenda for this Southeast Asia tour.

The visit aims to improve economic relations, as well as technology and security in the field of cyber and counter-terrorism efforts.

Manan said that Bogor was the place for Liz's second day of visit because BCC is a forum for creative economy players provided by the West Java Government to facilitate business actors assisted by the British Embassy.

"So that's why the location was chosen at BCC," he said.
