Indonesia’s Investment Minister, Bahlil Lahadalia, has stressed the need for collaboration in the country’s drive towards downstreaming. Speaking at the University of Indonesia, the Minister said the country was intent on building partnerships with other nations to meet the challenge of increasing downstream production, and highlighted the importance of collaborating on technology. Raw material exports have been stopped as part of the drive, to focus on maximizing the benefits of in-country production.
