In March 2018, Mr. Moeldoko met with Vietnamese businesswoman Ly Nha Ky at the Bina Graha building, Indonesian Presidential Place.

In addition to the cooperation between Ly Nha Ky's LYNK Group and Indonesian businesses, the two sides exchanged views on opportunities to further promote trade between enterprises of the two countries.

Impressed by the accomplishments of businesswoman Ly Nha Ky and her group, Mr. Moeldoko specifically emphasized: "Indonesia has always opened its investment market for foreign businesses, especially influential ones with strong development steps like LYNK."

With her usual calm style of a successful business owner in the market, businesswoman Ly Nha Ky replied to Mr. Moeldoko that: "First of all, I would like to convey my sincere thanks for your kind invitation which allows me to have this special meeting.

 “Having led the LYNK Group for many years so far, I feel fortunate to have many opportunities side by side with challenges. Until now, when the LYNK trademark has established its firm standing in the market, our special meeting marks one of the rare opportunities that I strongly believe my business group has been able to join the playground for international businesses in the process of our international integration." 

Ly Nha Ky becomes the first female entrepreneur from Vietnam who is invited to the Presidential Place by the Chief of Staff of Indonesian Presidency – one of the leading figures in the Indonesian government. 

Despite his hectic schedule in the role of the Chief of Staff of Indonesian Presidency, Mr. Moeldoko spared his time for an interview. 

Mr. Moeldoko and businesswoman Ly Nha Ky exchanges views on various issues.

What is your opinion of businesswoman Ly Nha Ky? 

When I was Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, I came to know Ly Nha Ky as the first Vietnamese Tourism Ambassador. It can be said that she is a smart and sharp businesswoman. 

What are your views on the trade promotion opportunities between the two countries? 

Vietnamese and Indonesian enterprises have many cooperation opportunities for mutual development. Special meetings like that of today can mark the turning point for both sides. In fact, our two countries need a "fulcrum point" to promote tourism and economic cooperation. In my opinion, businesswoman Ly Nha Ky fits perfectly well to the role as a bridge connecting businesses from both sides. 

The two sides find their meeting satisfactory.

Following is an interview with Ly Nha Ky: 

Can you share your feelings when you become the first Vietnamese businesswoman to be invited by the Chief of Staff of Indonesian Presidency? 

I personally feel extremely happy and I much appreciate this special invitation. As a businesswoman, however, this clearly marks a big challenge for me on the path ahead as it is associated with the visibility of my business. In my meetings with international friends, especially with such VIPs as Mr. Moeldoko, I always consider them golden opportunities to come up with daring ideas which are decisive to the future of my business.

Can you tell us more about the current activities of LYNK?

As you know, LYNK Group makes investments in many fields. In addition to our strength in investment consultation and real estate, LYNK is also the distributor of world-class luxury diamond brands. LYNK is currently making investment in international film production. Especially in the category of popular diamond, we are developing designs with the LYNK brand name. They are affordable yet retain good quality of international level.

In the near future, we will increase our investment in both domestic and international markets. Indonesian companies will become our potential partners. We are currently negotiating with EACP – one of Indonesia's largest investment groups – on trade opportunities in many fields.

As a successful businesswoman in the marketplace, an artist of moments, an exemplary fashion model who frequently participates in diplomatic and community activities, so what can define Ly Nha Ky's limit?

I have to confess that I have never set any "limits" for me. I just set goals and plans. I find myself happy doing what I put forth. I think everyone is born with a particular role in society. The important point is how you can connect work with responsibility. No pain, no gain, and when there is a will, there is a way.
