Indonesia enquires about Russian petroleum product supplies, talks underway

MOSCOW. April 13 (Interfax) - Indonesia has enquired about Russian oil product supplies with negotiations on long-term contracts underway, Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev, who attended talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, said in an interview with Channel One.

Russia received an enquiry from Indonesian partners about petroleum product supplies, Tsivilev said.

"Indonesia used to buy all its products primarily from other countries, such as the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Australia, but they are now regarding this issue in light of the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the reliability of supplies. We are currently looking seriously at long-term contracts at mutually beneficial prices," the Russian minister said.
