Japan business group to help Indonesia improve infrastructure
JAKARTA, Feb. 14 Kyodo - The Japan Business Federation agreed Monday to cooperate with the Indonesian government in promoting infrastructure improvements in the Southeast Asian country, including a large-scale urban transport network in the Jakarta metropolitan area, federation officials said.
The agreement was reached during a meeting in Jakarta between Hiromasa Yonekura, chairman of the federation better known as Nippon Keidanren in Japan, and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Yonekura, who is heading a Keidanren mission on a six-day tour of Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore, also agreed that the most powerful Japanese business lobby will step up its contribution to environmental protection, energy saving and development of natural resources in Indonesia, the officials said.
Indonesia has prioritized six ''economic corridors'' for economic development. Projects under the corridor program include Japanese-proposed ones to create an energy supply system and a traffic network in the metropolitan area.
During the meeting, Yonekura said Japanese business circles are willing to contribute to economic development in Asia, according to the officials.
Yudhoyono told Yonekura and other Keidanren leaders that Indonesia will welcome Japanese companies' participation in projects to improve energy-related infrastructures, as well as traffic and telecommunications systems, they said.
