Minister explains investors from Taiwan will invest capital to develop the island of Morotai in North Maluku. "Investing in ensuring that they will reach U.S.$ 2 billion."
Fadel expressed the Taiwanese investors are interested to build a lot of seafood processing industrial complex until construction of marine ecotourism park. "Investors will make Morotai area as a special economic zone, or megaminapolitan," he said.
Fadel added Morotai island will also be the center of the national tuna industry. He said the Taiwan expressed interest in investing in this island because this region was in the Pacific ocean.
