Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Welcomes Elon Musk to 10th World Water Forum

Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Pandjaitan welcomed SpaceX and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali, on Sunday, 19 May. Elon Musk arrived in Bali to attend the 10th World Water Forum. Elon Musk and Indonesian President Joko Widodo will launch Starlink at one of the Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Denpasar, Bali.

“I had the opportunity to welcome Elon Musk at the airport this morning. Then, we will discuss several of his agendas while he is here. Of course, for several important collaborations,” said Minister Luhut.

One of the important collaborations is the Starlink internet service, which can reach remote areas of Indonesia. "The Starlink launch will be carried out by Elon Musk along with the President today at one of the Puskesmas in Denpasar, Bali," he said.

The collaboration aims to provide equal internet access across all provinces in Indonesia, integrating it with health and education services. This will lead to an improvement in the quality of these services. Minister Luhut hopes that people in remote areas can benefit from fast internet access and information networks through the launch of Starlink.
