Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has asked the Dutch government to support the development of low-carbon technology in Indonesia and to push for the abolition of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).He conveyed this during a bilateral meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India, on Saturday, according to a statement released by the Presidential Secretariat Press Bureau on Sunday. “I hope that the Netherlands can support the development of low-carbon technology and the conversion of steam power plants to renewable energy as a follow-up to the JETP cooperation, and encourage the abolition of EUDR so it does not discriminate against Indonesia’s main commodities,” he said. The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) is a cooperation between Indonesia and a group of international partners, led by the United States and Japan, aimed to accelerate energy transition in Indonesia. Jokowi also asked Rutte to support Indonesia’s application to become a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
