Those who share the same aspirations are never hindered by mountains and seas.  On the morning of August 25, 2025, GEM welcomed distinguished guests from Indonesia. Mr. Rosan Roeslani, Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry of Indonesia and CEO of the national sovereign wealth fund Danantara, led a professional investment delegation to visit the GEM (Shenzhen) Super Green Technology Research Institute. The visit advanced deep capital cooperation between Danantara and GEM in the field of green nickel resources and witnessed the signing of the Framework Agreement on the 66,000-ton Nickel Metal Hydrometallurgy Green Project between Danantara and GEM. This marks the first in-depth cooperation between Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund and a Chinese enterprise since Danantara’s establishment. Professor Xu Kaihua, Founder and Chairman of GEM, together with Ms. Wang Min, GEM’s Joint Ultimate Controller, and the senior management team warmly received Minister Rosan Roeslani and his delegation.

During the Ministry of Investment and Ministry Downstream Industry & GEM Investment in Indonesia Exchange Meeting, Professor Xu Kaihua warmly welcomed Minister Rosan Roeslani’s visit across mountains and seas, expressing heartfelt gratitude for bringing friendship, cooperation, and new opportunities to Chinese enterprises. He also sincerely thanked the Indonesian government for its long-standing support in creating a favorable business environment for GEM and other Chinese investors in Indonesia.

Professor Xu emphasized that Minister Roeslani had met him many times in Indonesia, providing strong support for GEM’s development. “Minister Rosan Roeslani is a true friend and brother of Chinese enterprises,” Xu said. He further expressed great admiration for President Prabowo’s philosophy: “One enemy is too many, a thousand friends are too few.” Indonesia, he noted, is a land of hospitality, with a superior investment environment, a government delivering efficient services, and abundant human and natural resources. Indonesia will become one of the fastest-growing countries in ASEAN and the world, especially in new energy and green industries.

Over the past six years, GEM has adhered to its unique investment philosophy of integrating industry, technology, and culture, cultivating long-termism in Indonesia through cultural integration and joint growth. Beyond achieving industrial success, GEM has contributed by training Indonesian engineering masters, establishing the “GEM–ITB–CSU China–Indonesia Joint Research Laboratory for New Energy Materials and Metallurgy Engineering Technology,” and ensuring Chinese technology benefits Indonesian society. This has become a landmark of Sino-Indonesian science and cultural exchange.

Professor Xu expressed deep gratitude to the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry and Danantara for choosing GEM as a strategic partner, enabling GEM to upgrade its role in Indonesia from private cooperation to national-level strategic collaboration. This demonstrates the Indonesian government’s trust in GEM and other Chinese enterprises, as well as the broad prospects of China-Indonesian cooperation.

Professor Xu also presented the vision and construction progress of the Indonesia Green Industrial Park (IGIP) and the BNSI Green Nickel Project, stressing GEM’s commitment to building world-class industrial clusters in green nickel resources, circular economy, and intelligent equipment. With these efforts, GEM aims to create more than 80,000 jobs, provide Indonesia with strong green growth momentum, and develop IGIP into a global benchmark for green industry and innovation, with aspirations for it to become one of Indonesia’s national economic special zones.

In his speech, Minister Rosan Roeslani highly commended GEM for its long-term investment and contributions in Indonesia, expressing sincere gratitude to GEM and Professor Xu for their partnership, support, and friendship with the Indonesian people. He emphasized that GEM has not only driven local industrial development but also actively supported talent cultivation in Indonesia by collaborating with institutions such as ITB and UNU Yogyakarta, nurturing valuable human resources.

Minister Roeslani particularly appreciated GEM’s leadership for its vision and perseverance, noting that GEM’s projects in Indonesia have demonstrated high standards and remarkable results, creating significant employment and advancing green and sustainable development.

He concluded by reaffirming his strong support for GEM’s long-term development in Indonesia, stating: “As Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry and CEO of Danantara, I will continue to fully support GEM’s future growth. With the strong backing of President Prabowo, our partnership will become even stronger, creating vast opportunities for bilateral cooperation and lasting benefits for generations to come.”
