“The President of the Republic of Indonesia has assigned the Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investment and the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises to speak with the government and related businessmen in Tokyo from 3-4 December 2020 for support. The visit of the two ministers is also a follow-up to the agreement between the President of the Republic of Indonesia and the Prime Minister of Japan in Bogor on October 20, 2020, “said Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Heri Akhmadi, quoted in the website of the Indonesian Embassy in Japan, on Thursday (03/12/2020).
