At the daily press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 20th, media asked that the Indonesian government was negotiating with China on the debt restructuring of the Yavan high-speed rail project. Individual media said that "Yavan high-speed rail is difficult to operate due to a shortage of funds".

In response, China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has been officially put into operation for two years. Over the past two years, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has maintained a safe, smooth and orderly operation, sending more than 11.71 million passengers in total. Passenger flow continues to grow steadily, and economic and social benefits continue to be released, creating a large number of local jobs and effectively promoting economic development along the route. It has been recognized and welcomed by all walks of life in Indonesia.

He said that the two governments attach great importance to the development of the project, and that the competent departments and enterprises of the two sides maintain close cooperation, providing solid guarantees for the safe and stable operation of high-speed railways.

Guo Jiakun said that when evaluating high-speed rail projects, in addition to financial data and economic indicators, we must also look at public benefits and comprehensive benefits. China is willing to work with Indonesia to continue to carry out high-quality operation of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway and further leverage the project's driving role in Indonesia's economic and social development and regional connectivity.
