Jakarta, (IINA) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo will lead next week a delegation of businessmen to meet with tech-business owners in California, United States. The delegation will brief business leaders about investments in Indonesia in order to woo them to invest in the country's fledgling tech sector, Jakarta Globe reported.
Widodo stated his keenness to attract much-needed foreign investment to kick start Southeast Asia's largest economy, which has been growing at its slowest pace over six years.
Widodo's visit to California will come after meetings with President Barack Obama, US congressional leaders and executives from energy and mining companies in Washington.
In California, Widodo is also scheduled to meet Apple's CEO Tim Cook as well as executives from Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Apple is looking to invest in sustainable tin mining in Indonesia, the world's biggest tin exporter, and in setting up research and development facilities there, according to cabinet ministers.
