As you may have known Riau Province is a strategic situated in the heart of world’s busiest shipping lane in South East Asia and sharing direct borders with several neighboring countries in the region. Riau is also renewed for its abundant natural resources, much of which are not optimally developed yet, thus providing sample opportunities for investment activities.

Natural wealth i s indeed a n important point which may attract investors to bring their capital into Riau Province. And at this point, I can assure you that investing in Riau is a safe venture for now and future. I have two reasons behind my optimism; First, the enactment of law no 22 of 1999 on Regional Administration has given Provinces full autonomy and authority to decide their own regional policies. Second for a long term purpose, stability in economy and regional undertaking their businesses in Riau Province. I do hope this web site will serve as a sufficient and useful information for you the prospective investors. But most important I would like to assure you that all related government offices/agencies in the province have been ready and committed to rendering service and assistance to facilitate those who want to undertake investment activities in Riau.

Finally, I warmly invite all interested parties to snatch these opportunities and invest in Riau. Welcome to Riau the land dubbed "Bumi Lancang Kuning”.

Best Regards, Saleh Djasit, SH. Governor of Riau
