Delivering opening remarks at the event, the Director-General of the HKETO Jakarta, Miss Libera Cheng, congratulated HKCHAM Indonesia on its inauguration. She said that the Chamber should aspire to be a bridge linking business sectors of the two places. She also said that the Chamber would be a key on-the-ground partner of the HKETO Jakarta in promoting two-way trade and investment, and supporting Hong Kong's major initiatives, including the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global and the Economic and Trade Express platform.
In addition, Miss Cheng introduced key highlights of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government's newly announced First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the HKSAR (2026-2030) and the Chief Executive's 2026 Policy Address. She emphasised that Hong Kong is driving high-quality development through the dual engines of "Finance+" and "AI+", while playing the roles of "super-connector" and "super value-adder" in connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Mainland market with Association of Southeast Asian Nations economies, including Indonesia. She added that Hong Kong's trusted common law system, low tax regime, world-class professional services, offshore Renminbi hub status, and pursuit of early accession to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership enable Hong Kong to deliver a triple-win outcome for the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
Miss Cheng highlighted the solid economic foundation between the two places, noting that bilateral merchandise trade reached close to US$6 billion in 2025. Hong Kong was Indonesia's second-largest source of realised foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025 at US$10.6 billion, and became the top FDI source in the second quarter of 2026 for the first time.
The event also featured remarks by the Chairman of HKCHAM Indonesia, Mr Suwito, and the Director of Indonesia of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Mr Horasis Lung, a keynote address by the Deputy for Coordination of Business and Digital Economy at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of Indonesia, Dr Ali Murtopo Simbolon, as well as a fireside chat and a panel discussion on doing business in Indonesia from the perspectives of Hong Kong companies. Prominent speakers and guests included the President of the Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, Mr Abdul Alek Soelystio, and the Managing Director, Legal & Compliance of Danantara Indonesia, Mr Daniel Ginting. Invest Hong Kong also set up a promotional booth during the event.
The event brought together over 100 representatives from the business communities, chambers of commerce, governments and relevant stakeholders from Hong Kong and Indonesia.
