What people are saying
For licensing, we as investors were greatly facilitated by the Nusantara Capital Authority. As already mentioned, we did not have to wait long for the Authority’s building permits.
We are interested in developing our business in this region. Belarus is one of Indonesia’s suppliers of potash fertilizer, including to East Kalimantan, and we look forward to opportunities to develop business cooperation here.
Nusantara is building a city; it is green and progressing quickly. Bangladesh and Indonesia are brothers and have many things in common, so we can cooperate and share knowledge that may help urban development in Bangladesh.
