The Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM organized a Cross-Government Framing Workshop to develop the Handbook on Obligations in International Investment Treaties. This strategic collaboration with APEC, Australia's DFAT, and National University of Singapore aims to enhance government officials' understanding of Indonesia's rights and obligations in international investment agreements.
Comprehensive Guide for Policy Makers
Deputy for Investment Cooperation of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM Tirta Nugraha Mursitama emphasized the importance of the handbook as a strategic guide for policy makers at all government levels.
"This handbook will be very useful for all of us as state officials to understand and implement our obligations in every international investment agreement, to demonstrate our commitment to partner countries and foreign investors," said Tirta.
This initiative ensures every government decision aligns with applicable investment agreement provisions while preventing potential disputes that could harm the state.
Comprehensive Review of Investment Agreements
The handbook development project will include:
- Comprehensive review of bilateral and regional investment agreements signed by Indonesia
- In-depth assessment of applicable domestic regulations
- Case studies of investment disputes that have occurred
- Practical guidance for appropriate and accountable investment dynamics response
Australia's Support Strengthens Economic Cooperation
Minister Counsellor for Economic, Investment and Infrastructure of the Australian Embassy Jonathan Gilbert emphasized the importance of cross-sector and cross-country synergy to create a stable and predictable investment climate.
"We all know that investment requires close involvement from various parties to build an attractive investment environment and facilitate economic relations, not only between Indonesia and Australia, but also with all APEC members," Gilbert stated.
DFAT Australia's support marks the continuation of both countries' commitment to strengthening economic cooperation, particularly in investment.
