Economy and Finance Assistant, Sri Haryati expressed her support at the Indonesia Retail Summit. The Jakarta Provincial Government has a mission to encourage the holding of international-level events to realize Jakarta's vision of becoming a competitive Global City.

According to her, Jakarta as the economic center of Indonesia would remain a development priority and would continue to be developed into a business city, financial city, trade center, and service center on a regional and global scale.
