"In the middle of this year the governments of China and Indonesia will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the formation of industrial areas outside of Java in response to investment in the field of smelter and mining," Hidayat said.
According to him, the industrial areas would be built in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua if possible. The minister said the legal draft of the plan was being arranged and expected to be completed in the middle of this year so that the memorandum of understanding could be signed.
Further, he added that such a cooperation would encourage Chinese big investors in the downstream mining to invest in Indonesia. (*/M038)
