TOKYO - The first day of the President's visit to Japan resulted in investment commitments of around IDR 380 trillion from the Japanese government and private sector. This value, according to the Cabinet Secretary (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya, emerged in the Indonesia-Japan business forum in Tokyo, Monday, March 30, 2026.
"The essence of the business forum is the cooperation between Indonesia and Japan and Japanese government and private investment from Japan to Indonesia of approximately Rp380 trillion," said the Secretary of the Cabinet Teddy to reporters in Japan.
According to Teddy, before the business forum was held, the President first met with Emperor Naruhito and Japanese Crown Prince Fumihito. The meeting discussed various cooperation and improvement of Indonesia-Japan relations. One of the issues that was said to be prominent was forest protection and environmental protection.
Teddy said the President's meeting with the Emperor lasted about 45 minutes, then continued with a lunch. The total agenda in the Japanese Imperial environment lasted more than two hours.
The main highlight, said the Presidential Secretariat, appeared in the afternoon and evening business sessions. Of the total investment of around Rp380 trillion, 95 percent is said to be in sectors related to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
For Tuesday's agenda, the President is scheduled to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Teddy said the main agreements had actually been signed earlier, while the investments announced today are part of the overall cooperation between Indonesia and Japan.
In addition, the President will also meet with about 12 Japanese business leaders by the Minister of Investment and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Teddy assessed that the magnitude of the investment commitment showed one main message. "That is proof that Indonesia is a magnet for world investment," he said.
