Preparing for the visit, Minister Said invited several top executives from US-based energy companies operating in Indonesia.
The top executives who attended the event include Freeport Indonesia’s President Director Maroef Syamsoeddin, Chevron Pacific Indonesia’s Managing Director Chuck Taylor, Exxon Mobil Indonesia and Mobil Cepu’s President Jon Gibbs, Newmont Nusa Tenggara’s President Director Martiono Hadianto, dan General Electrics Indonesia’s CEO Handry Satriago.
“We are asking for opinions and intakes as a tool for discussion during the upcoming visit,” explained Minister Said on Monday.
Minister Said does not only explain his intention to gather opinion regarding the recent energy and mineral resources’ condition, but also highlights the government’s commitment in realizing structural reform, to ensure good climate investment.
In this regard, top executives from the US-based energy companies are applauding the matter at hand. They also admit the improvement in the breakthrough made by the government.
“The main point is that government will continue to work on improvements. One of our measures for instance, they admitted that the licensing through Capital Investment Coordinating Board was easier processed,” says Minister Said.
Dadan Kusdiana as Head of ESDM’s Central Public Communication, states that the event between Minister Said and the top executives took four hours discussing substantive matters and hot issues. In general, the focus of discussion was the improvement of legal certainty and investment climate in Indonesia, according to Mr. Kusdiana.
However, Mr. Kusdiana asserted that details of companies’ issues neglected to come forth. Therefore, there was no discussion regarding the contract extension for Chevron or Freeport’s licensing issue. He also concluded that a more in-depth and personal discussion may not have happened due to the amount of attendees in the event.
