JAKARTA, Indonesia (MNTV) — Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Information Technology is strengthening ties with Russia to advance its digital infrastructure, including 5G networks, broadband, and digital ecosystems, reports Tempo.co.
Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria emphasized the potential for collaboration during a meeting with Russia’s Deputy Minister for Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media, Andrey Zarenin.
“We are exploring opportunities for cooperation in telecommunications, digital ecosystems, e-commerce, postal services, and emerging technologies,” said Nezar.
He highlighted Indonesia’s aim to improve international connectivity, including internet bandwidth and data transmission.
Nezar sees Russia as a promising partner in delivering affordable, high-speed internet.
“By working together, we can lower internet costs. We need speeds of up to 100 Mbps at an affordable rate, similar to Russia,” he added.
Nezar also noted previous successful collaborations, such as digital training programs for civil servants and public lectures at Indonesian universities.
He proposed expanding these efforts to include media partnerships and digital skill development initiatives.
The proposed collaboration aims to make internet access more accessible while fostering growth in Indonesia’s digital and e-commerce sectors.
