Abdurrahman Wahid, President of The Republic of Indonesia, in New York City on July 13, 2000. Both events will be held at the Hotel Inter-Continental, located at the corner of 48th St. & Lexington Avenue in midtown Manhattan.

The Indonesia Investment Forum will be held without charge from 8:30-11:00 AM.

"We are pleased to offer New York-based investors, executives and other individuals this opportunity to hear directly from Indonesia's President regarding the major changes that have been implemented since his democratic election in October 1999" noted Allan Harari, President of the AICC. "The Indonesia Investment Forum will also offer senior Indonesian officials, who are now presiding over a major divestment and restructuring process, estimated by some to encompass over 80% of the nation's economic assets, a chance to present their vision and the methodology they will employ to facilitate the privatization of state-owned companies, as well as to introduce new policies and opportunities to promote foreign investment and trade."

Individuals interested in attending the Indonesia Investment Forum (no charge), Presidential Luncheon ($125 registration fee), or who would like to schedule a private meeting with IBRA or Investment Ministry officials in attendance are asked to forward a request to the contact indicated below.
