[Ferro-Alloys.com]Chinese state-owned company China Fortune Land Development (CFLD) plans to build an industrial area in Java, with an investment of US$1.5 billion, Head of the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Franky Sibarani stated on Wednesday.
 
"CFLD will set up an industrial area, which will be integrated with the housing sector using an environmentally friendly approach," he said.
 
The government is currently considering the provinces of West Java and Banten as the two locations, which may be suitable for building the industrial area.
 
Such an area will be possibly built in other provinces of Indonesia as CLFDs partners have plans to invest in the country.
 
During his stay in China, Franky also met Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Xie Feng to discuss this possibility.
 
CFLD is known as a developer of integrated industrial parks in China, with more than 40 tenants and located in 14 provinces in China.
 
CFLD has made a commitment to offer a Chinese tenant for every industrial area in Indonesia.
 
"Imagine if one industrial area in China has 100 tenants, then the figure will reach 4.4 thousand if they have 44 areas. The BKPM, in this case, has already met 250 tenants who are interested to invest in Indonesia," Franky explained.
 
Franky`s visit to China is to accompany Vice President Jusuf Kalla who will deliver a speech at the Boao Forum Asia (BFA).During the visit, Vice President Kalla held a meeting with the leaders of PT Virtue Dragon and Shanghai Electric.
 
Virtue Dragon is a Chinese company mastering in ferronickel processing.
 
The company has been committed to investing in Indonesia by building a ferronickel smelter processing plant in addition to some supporting infrastructure such as power plants and ports, with a total investment of US$5 billion.
 
Meanwhile, Shanghai Electric has also made a similar commitment on the provision of infrastructure facilities such as power plants, valued at US$2 billion.
