The meeting also addressed integration of nuclear energy into Indonesia’s electricity system, taking into account the country’s archipelagic geography.
As part of his visit to Indonesia, Likhachev is also scheduled to meet officials from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), PT PLN (Persero) and the Regional Representative Council.
Russia and Indonesia have cooperated in the nuclear sector since signing an intergovernmental agreement on peaceful uses of atomic energy in December 2006.
