I would like to use this very fine opportunity to encourage Indonesian businesses who are here among us to learn from your Korean partners. Learn their dynamism, their work ethics and innovative attitude, and of course their loyalty to us, as shown in the time of 1997 crisis.

To those who have not been to Indonesia, I encourage you to visit us and explore business and investment opportunities soon. I invite you to be part of our journey, and I am sure you will find it very rewarding. We shall write our future successes together.

I keep consistently saying that managing diversity is not to be taken for granted. It is a real challenge for us, especially when we are knowing now, in our world, there is a tendency of the spread of radicalism across the globe. It means our diversity, on the one hand, is our richness. But, on the other hand, is our vulnerability.

Our economic development must be pro growth, pro job, pro poverty reduction and also pro environment. We have to achieve high and sustainable growth without destroying our environment. That’s our ideology, that’s our economic strategy.
