Japan's Isuzu To Relocate Factory From Thailand To Indonesia
Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita met with Isuzu executives in Tokyo on Tuesday, according to a statement from the ministry.
Isuzu Thailand did not respond immediately to a request for confirmation.
"We appreciate Isuzu's decision...we will provide incentives and support the relocation process," said the minister in a statement.
Isuzu already operates a plant in Karawang, Indonesia. 
Indonesia currently manufactures vehicles for several Japanese automakers, including Honda, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki. It is also attempting to establish itself as a centre for electric vehicle battery production, leveraging its abundant raw materials.
