Jakarta - Indonesia is strengthening cooperation with South Korea in the clean energy and electric vehicle sectors to support the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89 percent by 2030.
In order to accelerate these efforts, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto received a visit from EVP & President of Advanced Materials Company LG Chem Dong Choon Kim and his delegation in Jakarta.
"We really need LG Group's support for the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem and in general for the development of clean energy in Indonesia and hopefully it can continue to be improved," said Airlangga in his statement, in Jakarta, Saturday.
During the meeting, both parties discussed various strategic cooperation opportunities, particularly in the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem and investment in the green energy sector.
Despite facing challenges in the form of declining global demand for electric vehicles, Coordinating Minister Airlangga and Vice President Kim agreed that there is still great potential in developing this sector in Indonesia.
LG Chem expressed its appreciation for the Indonesian government's support for the LG Group, which has long operated in the manufacturing sector in the country.
