He said that with the efforts of various levels of government in Indonesia and the Indonesian Chinese high-speed railway company, the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway will continue to make progress in transportation convenience and diversified intermodal integration. He believes that more and more Indonesian people will choose to travel by high-speed rail.
Dewiana stated that the Indonesian government looks forward to attracting more Chinese investment to further develop bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and China.
Indonesia China High Speed Railway Co., Ltd. was established in 2015 as a joint venture between a Chinese consortium and an Indonesian consortium, responsible for the construction and operation of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway project.
