The Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM held a strategic meeting with Banten Governor, Regional Police Chief, Chamber of Commerce, and PT Chandra Asri Alkali (CAA) to address disruptions to a Rp15 trillion investment project. This proactive step demonstrates the government's commitment to maintaining a conducive and secure investment climate.
State Guarantee for Sustainable Investment

The Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM as Chairman of the Investment Acceleration Task Force will take swift and concrete measures to guarantee investment project implementation without interference.
Firm Action Against Corrupt Elements
Responding to the Cilegon incident, Deputy Minister Todotua expressed deep regret and handed the case over to law enforcement authorities for legal processing.
"We want to provide a deterrent effect against wrong actions to protect our country's investment climate," he emphasized.
Banten Regional Police Chief Irjen Pol Suyudi Ario Seto assured thorough investigation: "If there are suspected criminal acts disrupting the investment climate, we will process them according to law."
Strengthening Proper Partnership Patterns
