Indonesia Aims at Russian Nuclear and Oil and Gas Investment, Bahlil: Must Have Real Impact

Prabowo believes that the partnership between Indonesia and Russia needs to be developed beyond trade relations or simply exchanging goods.

Russia has strengths in energy resources, science and advanced engineering technology. Meanwhile, Indonesia has a large domestic market as well as a strategic position as the entrance to the ASEAN region.

These complementary strengths open up opportunities for collaboration in various energy activity chains, especially exploration, production and processing of oil and gas.

“In the energy sector, Indonesia welcomes Russian cooperation which increases the productivity of oil and gas exploration, production and processing,” said Prabowo.

It is hoped that this collaboration can support increased domestic energy production while strengthening national supply resilience.

Open Nuclear Energy Development Opportunities

Apart from the oil and gas sector, the government opens up opportunities for cooperation with Russia in developing future energy technology.
