The Chief Executive Officer of Twitter, Dick Costolo, arrived in Jakarta today with several big items on his agenda. As the head of one of the world’s most popular social media sites (especially popular in Jakarta) Costolo has a day full of meeting both business and political.
The Twitter head already met with Vice President Jusuf Kalla after arriving at the State Palace this morning at 11:30 am.
After the closed door meeting with the vice president ended, Costolo told reporters that the two talked about strengthening the relationship between Twitter and the Government of Indonesia. He also briefly talked about the huge potential for Twitter throughout Indonesia.
“We are certainly going to expand our business in Indonesia, through cellular service providers and our partners,” Costolo said as quoted by Tribunnews.
Costolo also visited Indonesia to attend the opening of Twitter’s representative office in Jakarta. The new office, located at One Pacific Place, is Twitter’s second office in Southeast Asia after Singapore.
