Mamuju,
West Sulawesi. China plans to invest Rp 22 trillion ($2.57 billion) in a number
of projects in West Sulawesi, Governor H. Anwar Adnan Saleh said.
“Thank God,
West Sulawesi is the only province in Indonesia to receive an investment of Rp
22 trillion from the Chinese government. In the not-so-distant future the
investment will be realized. Hopefully, the investment will enable West
Sulawesi to make progress and put it on par with other provinces,” he said on
Saturday.
Anwar, who
was elected governor of the province in 2006, is seeking re-election in
October.
He said
part of the investment would be used to build one of the biggest hydropower
plants in Asia, which is expected to supply power to the entire island.
“The
hydropower plant will be built in Bonehau sub-district, Mamuju district. The
presence of this electrical energy source will be a special pride for the
people of West Sulawesi because this region will be free from energy crisis,”
he said.
