PALEMBANG,  - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that the nation has a well-prepared development plan and strategy, and therefore he was optimistic the development targets would be achieved.
"I am optimistic it’s achievable," Yudhoyono said when speaking at a coordinating meeting of Sumatra governors here on Friday.
Indonesia has short, middle and long term development plans, he said. Besides, Indonesia has also four development strategies, namely pro growth, pro poor, pro employment growth, and pro environment.
He said there were four reasons why Indonesia could achieve the development targets. First, Indonesia has huge potential in terms of geography, natural resources, and human resources.
Second, Indonesia managed to revive and survive during the economic crisis some time back. Third, Indonesia has rapid economic growth profile both in the context of Asia and the world.
Fourth, the Indonesian economy keeps on growing despite some internal problems such as concerning infrastructure, weak low enforcement, and bureaucracy.
Therefore, the head of state asked all parties to cooperate in order to eradicate all obstacles in order to achieve the development targets. Indonesia has the assets, and now it needs the determination and commitment of its people to work together.
"Just do it, let’s do it together."
