Jakarta – MNC Group tycoon Hary Tanoesodibjo has arrived in Washington DC to attend the inauguration of the 45th US president, Donald Trump, on Jan. 20 DC time or Saturday Indonesian western time.
"That's right [Hary Tanoe will attend]," MNC Group corporate secretary Director Syafril Nasution said Tuesday evening as quoted by Antara news agency.
Syafril said Hary Tanoe had been in the US since Monday after receiving an invitation from Trump. He is staying at a hotel in front of the US Capitol, where the inauguration will take place.
Syafril said before the inauguration, Hary would meet with US investors. Hary is Trump's business partner in Indonesia. "That's right, we are planning to accelerate the project completion," he said.
Trump has two investments in Indonesia: Trump International Hotel & Tower in Bali and Trump International Hotel & Tower in Lido in Bogor, West Java. In an interview with Bloomberg, Hary said he had a business relationship with Trump, not political. (evi)
