JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has offered to open, within the Batang Integrated Industrial Park in Central Java, an area designated for German companies as Indonesia seeks to woo new foreign investors.

Jokowi extended the offer to German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a closed-door virtual meeting on Tuesday (April 13), a day after the two leaders opened the German-based Hannover Messe 2021 trade fair, in which Indonesia is a partner country.
