Rosatom took part in the Indonesia-Russia Business Forum and the 13th meeting of the Indonesian-Russian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic and Technical Cooperation (IGC), which were held in Jakarta on April 14-15, 2025. The events were organized to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and marked a significant milestone in the development of their bilateral strategic dialogue.
One of the highlights of the Forum was a panel discussion “Energy Dialogue between Indonesia and Russia: Focusing on Expansion”. Anna Belokoneva, Head of Rosatom’s Country Office in Indonesia, participated in the event. The discussion focused on the prospects for energy cooperation between the two nations considering the current global context and climate commitments. Among the participants, there were also representatives of the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN, Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional), government bodies, and energy companies. They emphasized the significance of long-term cooperation in the nuclear, oil and gas, and renewable energy sectors, and expressed their willingness to proceed to carry out the projects.
“Indonesia is working towards carbon neutrality and plans to launch its first nuclear power plant by 2032. Rosatom has offered a range of technological solutions that would assist Indonesia in achieving these goals, and expressed its willingness to partner in the country’s nuclear program. We also discussed ways to strengthen our cooperation in education, personnel training, to develop localization, and to ensure public acceptance of the nuclear technologies,” said Anna Belokoneva.
During the IGC, which was co-chaired by Airlangga Hartarto, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of Indonesia, and Denis Manturov, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, both parties pointed out that the two nations are holding a more in-depth discussion about their cooperation in the field of nuclear energy.
