Indonesian President Prabowo's leadership has further polished Indonesia's investment appeal in the eyes of business actors from the United States, according to Indonesian Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani.

He made the statement after a meeting between President Prabowo and 50 US business players who are members of the US-ASEAN Business Council at the State Palace, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

"They are very confident in Indonesia's new leadership under Mr. President, who has presented them with a higher level of ease (of doing business), as they have been engaged in open discussions," he highlighted.

Roeslani also attributed the increased trust among US business players in Indonesia's investment climate to the president's recent visit to their country.
