Danantara CEO Meets Several Global Financial Figures, Strengthens Indonesia-US Cooperation Relations
Jakarta – In a strategic step to strengthen Indonesia’s position on the global stage, Danantara Indonesia’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Pandu Sjahrir, held an important meeting with several leading world financial figures.
Among the figures met were former United States Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Scott Bessent, a senior figure in the field of global institutional investment.
The meeting marked Danantara’s concrete steps in building strong economic diplomacy, while strengthening the bridge of strategic cooperation between Indonesia and the United States.
In a discussion that was warm and full of optimism, Scott Bessent expressed his positive views on Indonesia. He believes that this country has great potential as a major partner of the United States in the field of strategic investment. He also believes that through mutually beneficial economic cooperation, relations between the two countries can be built stronger in the future.
Meanwhile, Steven Mnuchin on a separate occasion also expressed a similar view. According to him, Indonesia plays an important role in the Southeast Asia region, and investment cooperation between the two countries has a great opportunity to provide a positive long-term impact.
He considered that expanding collaboration in the energy, refinery, and digital infrastructure sectors would be key to strengthening bilateral relations.
Pandu Sjahrir emphasized that Danantara’s mission is to build global connectivity that can drive national economic growth. He said that meetings with world financial leaders are not only a diplomatic event, but also a foundation for building concrete cooperation in the future.
“We believe that investment is a strategic solution to strengthen bilateral relations between Indonesia and the United States. Both countries have complementary interests, especially in the fields of energy security, upstream energy, and digital transformation,” said Pandu.
Pandu Sjahrir’s move marks a new spirit of Indonesian investment diplomacy that is not only aggressive, but also calculated and based on national interests. With the support of global financial figures, Danantara is determined to make Indonesia a major player in inclusive and sustainable global investment flows.
