He emphasized Indonesia's openness to investors from all countries, not offering special privileges to specific nations.

Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore Suryo Pratomo added that Indonesia, rich in natural resources, holds great potential. However, he stressed the importance of focusing on environmentally sustainable industries and ensuring well-being for future generations.
