On his European trip Indonesian President Joko Widodo has  invited the Netherlands to invest in Indonesian infrastructure projects, particularly those that support his maritime sector development programme, local reports said.

Widodo met with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and expressed his appreciation for the support of his maritime axis vision, while inviting Dutch companies to take part in the development. "I invite Dutch companies to be involved in the construction of deep sea ports in eastern Indonesia," Widodo said in a statement.
