Palangkaraya (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he fully supported the plan of the Central Kalimantan government to prioritize the development of the infrastructure sector in that region.

"The construction of infrastructure projects especially roads and railway tracks in Central Kalimantan should be prioritized," the president said a few moments before a get-together with local leaders and high ranking officials of the province and districts here on Wednesday evening.

The head of state said that in the next two months starting from now, the Central Kalimantan Governor and the relevant circles should come to the presidential palace in Jakarta to elucidate the infrastructure development plan with a view to discussing its realization in connection to the allocation of fund for the projects.

"I have asked for a plan to build infrastructure like roads, railway tracks, airports, harbours and other important infrastructure projects," he said.

The head of state also expressed his optimism that if the development of the infrastructure sector in Central Kalimantan could be accelarated, it will make tremendous progress on account of the huge area, mining potentials and plantations in the region.

The president, who is planing to conduct a grand harvest in peatland in Kapuas district, on Thursday, reminded that the development of infrastructure should not damage the environment.

In the meantime, Vice President Jusuf Kalla invited foreign investors to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects in Indonesia, including toll roads and power plants.

He said recently that the Indonesian government would open wide opportunities for foreign investors for the construction of hundreds of kilometers of toll roads, power plants and other infrastructure projects.

"Despite the conflicts in several parts of the country, Indonesia has become increasingly conducive to investment," he told dozens of ASEAN business leaders participating in the forum.

The Indonesian government has revised several regulations on taxation, infrastructure development and bureaucracy to make foreign investors more interested in doing business in Indonesia, according to Jusuf Kalla.

The government is currently striving to further improve security stability to expedite the inflow of investment and the process of development in the country, he revealed.
