Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, the world's major emerging economy, and the place preferred by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Along with "One Belt and One Road", Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank aims to promote Asian infrastructure and interconnections, deepen regional economic cooperation, and achieve common development. Indonesia attaches great importance to the proposal of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,  and has actively supported and participated in the preparatory process. The investment direction of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank fits well with Indonesian development strategy to strengthen maritime infrastructure and promote interconnections. During the banquet of Indonesian bankers, Indonesian President said that since the reform and opening-up policy, China has rapidly developed into a world power. Indonesia should learn from China's development model and attach importance to the important role of infrastructure construction and direct foreign investment in economic development. China is not a capitalist country but has the courage to open the door to foreign capital. Therefore, Indonesia should make more effective construction plans in the investment field, reduce fuel subsidies and use the money in growth-promoting infrastructure construction such as roads, power plants and dams. Besides, support the monetary policy with national finance, maintain financial stability, and make Indonesia a prosperous and powerful country.
