He noted that the diplomatic ties between Indonesia and China, which have spanned over seven decades, serve as a solid foundation for expanding cooperation, particularly in the sustainability sector.

He expressed his belief that strong partnerships will determine the success of building resilient and sustainable urban systems.

“Jakarta cannot act alone; therefore, we invite investors to collaborate in developing solutions within the environmental and sustainable development sectors,” he said while welcoming the Chinese delegation at the Jakarta Public Service Mall, Friday (4/24).

He also highlighted China’s significant contribution to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which totaled USD 7.5 billion nationally in 2025 and USD 483 million in Jakarta. According to him, there is still considerable room for growth, particularly in the environmental, infrastructure, and green city development sectors.

“Our vision is clear: to transform Jakarta into one of the Top 50 Global Cities by 2030 and the Top 20 by 2045. To achieve this, we are integrating sustainability principles into every aspect of urban development,” he explained.

Herizkianto noted that the Jakarta Investment Centre (JIC) Management Unit under his agency is ready to provide comprehensive investment facilitation as a form of concrete support, covering everything from identifying project opportunities to the permitting process.

Through this meeting, the Jakarta government and ACEF hope to promptly materialize various strategic partnership opportunities, while accelerating Jakarta's transformation into a competitive and sustainable global city.

“Jakarta government invites investors to collaborate in building Jakarta as a sustainable global city. We're ready to provide end-to-end assistance for investors,” he continued.

Meanwhile, ACEF Vice Chairman Hong Ping explained that this working visit to the Jakarta Public Service Mall is a concrete step toward fostering deeper cooperation between Chinese companies and Jakarta. He regards Jakarta as one of the most dynamic cities in Southeast Asia, possessing immense development prospects.

“Our delegation arrives with mature technology, extensive experience, and strong investment capacity. We do not only wish to be technology providers but also long-term partners in Jakarta’s development,” he stated.

He added that the infrastructure and environmental sectors are top priorities for the partnership, aligning with Jakarta’s needs for urban transportation development, wastewater treatment, water quality enhancement, and waste management.

“These areas represent our companies' core strengths. We are ready to bring solutions and expertise from China to be implemented through concrete, mutually beneficial projects,” he explained.

Further, ACEF is pushing for the establishment of a long-term communication mechanism to ensure that the realization of this cooperation does not merely end at the discussion table.

“We're committed to building stable and sustainable cooperation to transform Jakarta into a greener, more livable, and smarter city,” he concluded.

For reference, the event was attended by 24 ACEF delegates representing Chinese companies specialized in various sustainable infrastructure sectors.

Representing Jakarta were six municipal enterprises (BUMD) and one regional public service agency (BLUD), namely PT Moda Integrasi Transportasi Jabodetabek (MITJ), PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro), Perumda Paljaya, PAM Jaya, PT Jakarta Tourisindo (JxB), Perumda Sarana Jaya, and the Jakarta Asset Management Centre (JAMC). These entities were present to explore potential investment partnerships between Jakarta and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
