Minister Meutya Hafid Invites U.S. Investors to Build Digital Transformation That Benefits Indonesia
Published
Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid met with representatives of the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC) to discuss investment opportunities in the digital sector. In the meeting, she invited United States companies to invest in Indonesia. According to her, such investment must deliver tangible benefits for the Indonesian people.
Meutya explained that the direction of Indonesia's digital transformation rests on three principles: Connected, Growing, and Protected. The principle of Connected means everyone must be able to access the internet and digital services. The principle of Growing means the digital economy must drive business growth and job creation. The principle of Protected means data and the digital space must be properly safeguarded. These three principles, she said, form the basis for determining cooperation with foreign parties.
In addition, the government wants digital investment not to focus only on big cities. In this way, people in the regions can also feel the results. The government hopes that cooperation with partners from the United States can help develop infrastructure, digital skills, and public services.
This meeting shows that Indonesia continues to open cooperation with other countries in the digital field. However, the government stresses that every investment must be aligned with national interests. Further developments of this cooperation need to be continuously followed by the public.
