Jakarta –

The Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves) responded to the International Monetary Fund/IMF) who asked Indonesia not to expand its nickel downstream policy by banning the export of raw materials in other commodities.

Spokesperson for the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Jodi Mahardi said Indonesia as a sovereign and developing nation wanted to strengthen downstream to increase added value.

“We feel grateful for the perspective that has been conveyed by the IMF. As a sovereign and developing nation, our view of the future is to strengthen our role in the downstream process, which refers to increasing the added value of our products, not just as an exporter of raw materials ,” said Jodi in an official statement, Thursday (29/6/2023).

“We are dedicated to building a sustainable and progressive economy, involving all levels of Indonesian society,” he added.

In addition, the downstream concept does not only include the process of increasing added value, but also the stages up to recycling which are an integral part of efforts to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and emphasize the importance of sustainability.

“We have no intention to unilaterally dominate all downstream processes. We will carry out the initial stages in Indonesia, but the next stages can still be carried out in other countries, mutually supporting their industries, in the spirit of mutually beneficial global cooperation,” he said.

Jakarta –

Indonesian candy, Curved, was in the spotlight last year. This happened when the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan brought the candy when he met Tesla boss Elon Musk in the United States in April 2022.

Now Luhut is opening up the story behind Kopiko’s presence in his meeting with Elon Musk. This was revealed by him in a podcast conversation with the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno.

Initially, Sandiaga asked why Luhut gave Kopiko when he met Elon Musk. He said this was discussed virally on social media.

“Father made it viral in cyberspace when you gave this Kopiko to Elon Musk, what time did you think at that time sir,” Sandiaga asked Luhut in the Wonderful Indonesia Podcast on Kemenparekraf’s official YouTube channel, quoted on Sunday (26/2/2023).

Luhut admitted that at first he had no intention of bringing Kopiko to a meeting with Elon Musk, but someone told him that the candy had already been taken to space and Elon Musk would have liked it.

It was from there that Luhut finally wanted to bring and offer Curved to his meeting with Elon Musk. According to him there is nothing wrong with bringing Kopiko which is a product made in the country.

“I don’t know anyone who said ‘sir, later if you and Elon Musk offer Kopiko like that.’ I just said that there, I think because it was made in Indonesia, that’s it,” said Luhut.

Hey, his meeting with Elon Musk arrived, during that meeting it was Luhut who offered Kopiko directly to Elon Musk. In fact, Luhut also mentioned that Kopiko had been taken to outer space to Elon Musk.

“Elon look at this Kopiko, Indonesian made. It’s been to anu, to what, space, outer space at the international station,” said Luhut while imitating his conversation with Elon Musk at that time.

Elon Musk also tried Kopiko. The Tesla boss immediately liked the Kopiko taste, said Luhut. So from there the candy immediately went viral.

“Let me try, that’s what he said. He just bit it, ‘oh its good, good’ he said. So it went viral immediately,” continued Luhut.

Thinking of Buying Kopiko Shares
Luhut also said that it was not only the candy that went viral, the shares of the company that produces Kopiko also immediately skyrocketed after the meeting with Elon Musk.

Carried away, Luhut joked that at that time he should have also bought Mayora’s shares, which is a company that produces Kopiko to make a profit.

“So Kopiko’s shares went up. If I knew that, I would buy those shares too,” he joked.

In notes detikcom, Mayora Indah’s shares, codenamed MYOR shares, immediately skyrocketed after Luhut’s meeting with Elon Musk. Especially after the photo of Luhut and Elon Musk posing holding Kopiko.

At that time MYOR’s shares flew up to 4.91% or around 80 points the day after Luhut and Elon Musk’s meeting. At that time, MYOR’s share price reached Rp. 1,710 per share.

Jakarta –

Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan recently visited Australia National University. He shared this moment by uploading a video on his personal Instagram account @luhut.pandjaitan.

Luhut said he emphasized to the professors and researchers who met him there that Indonesia was not a small, weak country, aka the banana republic (banana republic).

“We’re not a banana republic. Indonesia is already far more developed than you knew before. That’s how I convey to them how our economy after the pandemic and global economic turmoil that never ends continues to grow and is resilient even though many other countries are under pressure because of the two the crisis,” said Luhut in a statement on the upload, Saturday (18/2/2023).

According to him, this condition can be achieved by Indonesia, partly because Indonesia continues to focus on developing the downstream industry. The goal is to increase the added value of Indonesia’s natural wealth.

Therefore, he invited the professors and researchers to visit Indonesia, along with an entourage from the Australian Minister of Industry, Mrs. Madeleines.

“You can see how we really build the downstream industry from upstream to downstream. In addition to adding value to Indonesia’s natural wealth, we also add value to Indonesia’s human resources.

Luhut further said, he wanted these academics to see firsthand how technology transfer was carried out through the establishment of several Industrial Polytechnics for human resource development.

He also believes that if the local workforce is educated and skilled in operating industrial machinery, RI will no longer need to bring in workers from abroad. For this reason, he hopes these academics can prove RI’s seriousness directly through their visit.

“My hope is simple, so that the ‘trust’ that we both need appears because you have proven it yourself, including what is happening in Papua at this time. We have proven one thing that we can do together to build infrastructure and build educated and skilled people. same,” he concluded.
