Chairman Zhang Jinxiong said, first of all, please allow me to extend a warm welcome and sincere greetings to all guests on behalf of Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association!
Zhang Jinxiong pointed out that as the world's fourth most populous country, Indonesia has a population of about 280 million and a good population structure. The median age is less than 30 years old, and the working-age population aged 15-65 accounts for nearly 70% of the total population. The excellent demographic dividend also provides sufficient human resources and unlimited possibilities for Indonesia's economic development.
According to data released by the Indonesian Ministry of Investment, in the first quarter of this year, Indonesia implemented foreign investment of 204.4 trillion rupiah, approximately 12.5 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%. Among them, Singapore’s US$4.2 billion and China’s US$3.77 billion (including Hong Kong’s US$1.89 billion) ranked first and second as the largest sources of foreign investment respectively. Indonesia has now become a global investment hotspot, and "going overseas to Indonesia" has also become the first choice of many Chinese companies.
Henan is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and a major province of agriculture and animal husbandry in China. It has advanced technology and rich management experience in the processing of agricultural and animal products. We also very much welcome entrepreneurs from Henan Province to conduct an in-depth investigation of Indonesia’s investment, business environment and market potential, find suitable partners, explore business opportunities, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

In the future, we will continue to actively leverage the platform advantages of our Association to provide necessary consultation and assistance for cooperation between the two parties. We also welcome everyone to come to Indonesia often. Finally, I wish you all a successful trip and fruitful harvest!
