The authorities of Moscow and Russian Railways could join in the transfer of the Indonesian capital from Jakarta to the island of Kalimantan. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin following talks with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
“There are good prospects for business contacts on the development of transport and logistics infrastructure. In particular, Russian Railways could join the implementation of a large-scale initiative by the Indonesian leadership to move the country's capital to the island of Kalimantan, — said the Russian leader.
Putin also noted that “the Russian capital, Moscow, which demonstrates very good pace and quality of its own development, could also take part in this work.”< /p>
