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.

Cross-Ministry Collaboration Forum

This workshop serves as an initial forum to build collective awareness across ministries and institutions, ensuring international obligations management is conducted harmoniously and coordinately.

The Ministry of Investment and Downstream/BKPM encourages active participation from all participants and expects constructive input during the handbook development process.

Impact on Regional Investment Ecosystem

This handbook will significantly impact regions in creating a healthy, competitive, and sustainable investment ecosystem. Comprehensive understanding of international obligations will help regions:

• Formulate investment policies aligned with international standards

Integrated Investment in Three Phases

This ambitious program will be implemented in stages across three main regions: Sulawesi, Papua, and Sumatra. The first phase begins in West Sulawesi through collaboration with Kaisar Group, encompassing:

• Provision of 1,500 fishing vessels (500 core vessels and 1,000 plasma vessels)
• Training of 500-1,000 professional marine technicians
• Strengthening sustainable fisheries technology research between Indonesian and Chinese universities

"Downstream development occurs not only in mineral and oil-gas industries, but we seriously develop it in maritime industry," emphasized Deputy Minister Todotua.

Integrated Maritime Industry Ecosystem

The MoU signing between PT KIPAS and three leading Chinese companies - Fujian Yihe Shipbuilding, Zhangzhou Hansheng Ship Design, and CODA - creates a complete ecosystem from ship design to marine product processing.

South Korean Investment in Indonesia Reaches USD11.3 Billion in the Last 5 Years

South Korean investors' interest in Indonesia remains high. This is marked by the inauguration of Dongsung Chemical, a South Korean chemical company that produces polyurethane (PU), on Wednesday (30/04), in Karawang, West Java.

Minister of Investment and Downstream Industries/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, who participated in the factory operational inauguration ceremony, conveyed the importance of this investment as an indicator that Indonesia remains an attractive investment destination, even for companies with high-technology products.

Dongsung Chemical's Largest Production Facility

Built on a 82,000 square meter land with a building area of 23,000 square meters, this factory is the largest production facility owned by the company, even exceeding production capacity in its home country.

Dongsung Chemical's products are used in various sectors, such as:

• Automotive industry (seats, headrests, interior linings)
• Footwear (shoe soles and adhesives)
• Household goods (mattresses, sofas, waterproof coatings)
• Manufacturing and construction (sealants, adhesives, surface protection)

Indonesia as a High-Technology Production Hub

Minister Rosan emphasized the importance of this investment as an indicator that Indonesia remains an attractive investment destination, even for companies with high-technology products.

"The presence of this factory once again proves that Indonesia is not only an investment destination that remains attractive to investors but is also trusted to become a center for the production and export of high-technology products. This investment will create jobs and strengthen Indonesia's position in the global supply chain," said Rosan.

Open for Business and Industrial Downstream

On this occasion, Rosan also stated that the government actively continues to enhance cooperation with Indonesia's strategic partners to invest in the country. Moreover, according to him, currently, based on the direction of President Prabowo, Indonesia is very open for business, especially those aligned with the government's agenda in promoting industrial downstream and creating quality jobs.

South Korea: Indonesia's Strategic Investor

In the last five years (2020-2024), South Korea has been recorded as the 7th largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia, with a total investment of USD11.3 billion.

Rosan believes that the cooperation between South Korea and Indonesia that has been going well must be maintained and even enhanced. "I believe the actual investment realization figures are much larger, as there are investments from Korea entering through other countries such as Malaysia or Singapore," continued Minister Rosan.

Karawang as a Global Strategic Hub

For Dongsung Chemical, the factory in Karawang is an important part of the company's long-term growth plan. Dongsung Chemical Chairman Baek Jeong-ho said that his investment in Indonesia is not only to increase production capacity but also part of the company's strategy to continue growing.

"This new factory in Indonesia is the best PU system production base in Southeast Asia, serving as a global strategic hub reaching from Asia, Latin America, to Europe. This is not just an expansion of production facilities but also an important milestone in expanding Dongsung Chemical's technology and global vision," said Baek.

Positive Trend of South Korean Investment

Based on data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industries/BKPM, in the first quarter of 2025, South Korea recorded an impressive investment performance by ranking seventh as the largest country of origin for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indonesia. During this period, South Korea's investment value reached USD683.29 million spread across various sectors.

This trend reflects the consistent interest and optimism of South Korean investors toward investment opportunities in Indonesia.

SINTANG - The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of Sintang Regency conducted capacity building and innovation refreshment for KAIN IKAT as well as business licensing services for Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) actors in Lundang Baru Village, Dedai District on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.

The event, attended by dozens of micro and small business actors, represents DPMPTSP Sintang Regency's effort to reach communities in rural areas to facilitate the business licensing process.

KAIN IKAT Capacity Building for Excellent Service

KAIN IKAT, which stands for Information Service Cadres and Licensing Assistance in Districts, is an innovative program developed by DPMPTSP Sintang Regency. This program aims to bring licensing services closer to the community, especially in areas far from the city center.

The Head of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency explained, "KAIN IKAT serves as our extension in providing excellent service to the community. With trained cadres in each district, the business licensing process can be more easily accessed by business actors, including those in remote villages."

During the activity, KAIN IKAT cadres received refresher materials on the latest licensing procedures, service application systems, and effective assistance techniques for business actors. This capacity building is expected to improve the quality of services provided by the cadres.

Business Licensing Assistance for MSEs

In addition to conducting KAIN IKAT capacity building, DPMPTSP Sintang Regency also provided direct business licensing services to Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) actors in Lundang Baru Village. This activity is an implementation of the local government's commitment to supporting local economic growth.

"We understand that many MSE actors still face obstacles in managing business licenses, either due to long distances or limited information. Through this proactive approach, we hope to help more business actors obtain official licenses so their businesses can grow," said the Licensing Service Coordinator of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency.

During the service session, the DPMPTSP team helped dozens of MSE actors process various types of licenses, from Business Identification Numbers (NIB) to Standard Certificates. Business actors also received education about the benefits of having official business licenses, including ease of access to financing and business development opportunities.

Positive Response from the Community

The presence of the DPMPTSP Sintang Regency team in Lundang Baru Village received a positive response from the local community. One MSE actor who successfully obtained a business license, Mrs. Herlina, expressed appreciation for the ease of service provided.

"I've been afraid to apply for a business license because I thought the process was complicated and expensive. It turns out that with help from the DPMPTSP team and KAIN IKAT, everything can be completed quickly and at no cost. This is very helpful for small businesses like ours," said Mrs. Herlina, a cassava chip producer.

The Lundang Baru Village Head also expressed gratitude for the activities carried out by DPMPTSP Sintang Regency. According to him, such activities are very beneficial for educating villagers about the importance of business legality.

Program Development Plans

Seeing the high enthusiasm from the community, DPMPTSP Sintang Regency plans to continue developing the KAIN IKAT program and mobile services to other villages throughout Sintang Regency.

"We aim to reach all districts in Sintang Regency this year. Thus, access to business licensing services can be more evenly distributed and support regional economic growth," explained the Head of DPMPTSP Sintang Regency.

The KAIN IKAT program itself has been recognized as one of the best public service innovations at the provincial level and has become a model for other regions in West Kalimantan.
