“I would like to pay special tribute
here to Mr. James Castle who is in the audience today, that despite
the bombings he has remained positive and confident on Indonesia.
And my heart goes out to Mr. Max Boon, the Dutch man who survived
the bombings, and passed a message to me in a letter … about
Indonesia, a country which he deeply fell in love with. These are
the true friends of Indonesia, and they are not just exemplary
representatives of the business community, they are remarkable human
beings!”
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono,
Keynote
Speech to the US – Indonesia Business Forum,
Boston, 26 September 2009
