Jordan Eyes Toll Roads, Gas Pipelines, and Logistics Investments After King Abdullah II Meets Danantara Chief

---

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Jordan expresses interest in investing in Indonesia across toll roads, gas pipelines, and logistics infrastructure, a proposal that King Abdullah II conveys directly to investment authority Danantara during his visit to Jakarta on Saturday, Nov 15, 2025.

Danantara CEO Rosan Perkasa Roeslani says the discussions begin when King Abdullah asks about Danantara's investment return profile, which later opens the way for a detailed conversation on project opportunities that both sides consider financially viable.

Rosan explains that the King highlights three priority areas for potential collaboration. He notes that the projects align with Danantara’s investment return standards and meet the institution’s commercial benchmarks.

He adds that the offer emerged during a bilateral meeting between Indonesia and Jordan at the St Regis Hotel in Jakarta. President Prabowo Subianto also witnesses the discussion.

Rosan says the proposal includes a gas pipeline project, a toll road initiative, and a logistics expansion plan. He emphasizes that all three carry strategic importance for both nations.

He states that Danantara will now begin the follow-up stage. The institution will deploy a specialized team to conduct project identification, technical assessment, and feasibility checks.

According to Rosan, the dispatch of the team marks the start of a structured evaluation process. It ensures the projects meet financial, operational, and risk standards before any next steps.

Rosan also highlights that Indonesia and Jordan already maintain a joint venture in phosphate-based chemicals used for fertilizer production. The cooperation serves as a key supply chain pillar for Indonesia’s agricultural sector.

He adds that both sides intend to expand this partnership. The plan includes increasing capacity and broadening the scope of collaboration to strengthen essential inputs for farming productivity.

Rosan clarifies that discussions have not yet focused on whether Jordan will invest in Indonesia’s National Strategic Projects. The two governments prioritize strengthening long-term trade and investment flows as the foundation for future initiatives.

He notes that both countries want a more complementary economic relationship. Jordan can serve as a strategic entry point for Indonesia to reach Middle Eastern markets, while Indonesia can act as a regional hub for Jordan to access ASEAN economies.

Rosan concludes that the partnership potential is mutually reinforcing. He stresses that a stronger bilateral investment corridor will support trade diversification and strategic cooperation for both nations.
