Iran to Set Up Refinery, Power Plant in Indonesia
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A high-ranking Indonesian delegation will soon visit Tehran to discuss a contract for the construction of a refinery and a power plant by Iranians in the East Asian country, spokesman for Iran’s administration announced.
Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran on Tuesday, Mohammad Baqer Nobakht said the Indonesian team will visit Iran to put the previous agreement into practice.
The Indonesians will also weigh up ways for the construction of a refinery and a power plant that Iran is planned to build in the Asian Muslim country, he added.
Nobakht’s remarks came after his last week’s meetings with a number of senior Indonesian officials on the sidelines of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in Indonesia.
He met with Indonesian Minister of Commerce Bambang Brodjonegoro, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Sofyan Djalil, and Minister of National Development Planning Agency Andrinof Chaniago in Jakarta.
The Iranian official had expressed Tehran’s willingness to expand ties with Jakarta in the fields of infrastructure, export and import of products between the two countries, energy, construction of plants, refineries, and highways, and tourism industry.
