Jakarta. Petrindo Jaya Kreasi, also known by its ticker symbol CUAN, recently held an annual general meeting of its shareholders in Jakarta. 

The meeting revealed that CUAN had booked a positive performance as the company entered mid-year. CUAN’s chief financial officer Kartika Hendrawan said that Petrindo and its subsidiaries had focused on strategic expansion throughout 2023.
