The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BMF from the Private Officer Group of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed Bin Faisal, visited the Arun Lhokseumawe Special Economic Zone to study investment opportunities, especially in the petroleum and chemical fields in the Iskandar Muda Industrial Area (IMIA).
The MBF CEO's visit was part of a working group from the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Suhail Mohammad Faraj Al Mazrouei, to Indonesia on 7-14 March 2022 with a group from several UAE companies. Among other things, they met with the Governor of Aceh on March 10, 2022, in Banda Aceh.
When visiting the Iskandar Muda Industrial Area, the MBF CEO group was accompanied by representatives from the Investment and One-Stop Service Office (PMPTSP), the Aceh Oil and Gas Management Agency, and PT Patriot Nusantara Aceh. Investors from the UAE expressed their desire to study petroleum and chemical investment opportunities in the special economic zone (SEZ) of Arun Lhokseumawe, especially in the IMIA area.
"If this business opportunity benefits both parties, the business cooperation process will continue," said Safwat Ardy from the PT Pupuk Iskandar Muda Development Team, recently.
Accompanied by the PM of IMIA Asset Commercialization, Rhoni Isnanda, Safwat conveyed several things related to the potential for business development in the PIM area and the support provided by PT PIM in the context of developing the SEZ Arun Lhokseumawe.
Geographically, PT PIM's location is on the lips of the Malacca Strait, which is an international trade route, so it is very strategic for the import of raw materials and product exports abroad, especially in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.
According to Safwat, PT PIM owns the IMIA area with an area of approximately 100 hectares which is an industrial land prepared for company development and investment from third parties. PIM provides facilities and infrastructure including utilities on IMIA land to support new investments.
"These potentials can be considered for the implementation of profitable investments for PIM and potential investors," said Safwat.[]
