low-carbon economy. I am confident that this launch will inspire more
investments in the green economy, creating opportunities for innovation,
job creation, and a better quality of life for all Indonesians. The
work does not stop here—this is just the beginning, and I look forward

resilient green economy for Indonesia."

billion USD to achieve in a couple of years to come. The participation
of VinFast, Xanh SM will definitely contribute to that goal. There are
strong interests from Vietnamese companies to do business in Indonesia. I
think Indonesia is a good land and birds flock to the good land. I hope
that with the success of VinFast and Xanh SM, many Vietnamese
businesses will follow to come to Indonesia to contribute to the
prosperous development of Indonesia".
