Founder and Chairman Jack Ma of Alibaba group now has a new job: Indonesia e-commerce development consultant.

At last week's G20 Summit, Indonesia President zuoke·weiduoduo (Joko Widodo) and the delegation paid a visit to Alibaba's headquarters and meet with Ma. During the meeting, Indonesia Minister of communication technology ludiantala (Rudiantara) invited MA to be Indonesia's e-commerce development consultant.

Ludiantala said at that time, in order to promote Indonesia the development of electronic commerce, the Government set up a panel of 10 Ministers "Steering Committee". The Committee has invited MA to act as advisers. Ludiantala: "invite Ma's aim is to make Indonesia occupy a more important position in global electronic commerce. ”

Ludiantala today, told reporters: "we really need the Steering Committee consultants. These advisers should be people of influence in the world, with ability like Ma. "Ludiantala also said that Ma and the objective of the Steering Committee are, by 2020, Indonesia 8 million small and medium-scale enterprises into the Internet.

Alibaba also confirmed that Ma had accepted Indonesia Government's invitation. Alibaba said: "we have been in contact with Indonesia Government to see how to take advantage of the development of e-commerce to promote Indonesia the development of small and medium enterprises. ”

In this regard, some analysts said, MA this quasi-governmental role may conflict with their business with Alibaba, Alibaba is developing markets in Southeast Asia. Recently, Alibaba has just spent $ 1 billion holding Singapore e-commerce giant Lazada.

Alibaba spokesman expressed, he dutifully promoted Indonesia development of e-commerce, actions speak louder than words, or look at the actual actions.

阿里巴巴集团创始人兼董事长马云如今又有了一个新的职位：印度尼西亚电子商务发展顾问。

在上周的G20峰会上，印度尼西亚总统佐科·维多多(Joko Widodo)及该国代表团造访了阿里巴巴总部，并约见了马云。会谈期间，印度尼西亚通信技术部长鲁迪安塔拉(Rudiantara)邀请马云出任印度尼西亚的电子商务发展顾问。

鲁迪安塔拉当时称，为了推动印度尼西亚电子商务的发展，政府设立一个由10位部长组成的“指导委员会”。该委员会已邀请马云出任顾问。鲁迪安塔拉说：“邀请马云的目的是，让印度尼西亚在全球电子商务领域占据更重要的地位。”

鲁迪安塔拉今日向记者表示：“我们的指导委员会真的需要顾问。这些顾问应该应该是全球有影响力的人士，拥有像马云这样的能力。”鲁迪安塔拉还称，马云和我们的指导委员会的目标是，在2020年之前让印度尼西亚800万家小型和中型企业走进互联网。

阿里巴巴也证实，马云已接受印度尼西亚政府的邀请。阿里巴巴称：“我们已经在与印度尼西亚政府沟通，看看如何利用电子商务的发展来推动印度尼西亚中小型企业的发展。”

对此，有分析人士称，马云这个半政府性质的角色可能与阿里巴巴自家业务相冲突，因为阿里巴巴也正在拓展东南亚市场。近期，阿里巴巴刚斥资10亿美元控股新加坡电子商务巨头Lazada。

而阿里巴巴发言人对此表示，马云会尽职尽责地推动印度尼西亚电子商务的发展，行胜于言，还是看实际行动吧。
