Indonesia says it is looking into the prospects of purchasing crude oil from Iran through long-term supply agreements.

The announcement was made by Darmin Nasution, the visiting Indonesian coordinating minister for economic affairs.

Nasution told Mahmoud Vaezi, Iran’s minister of information and communication technology, that Indonesia had purchased one million barrels of oil from Iran for a related compatibility check with its refineries.

He added that once the check is successful, Jakarta would proceed with sealing a long-term supply deal with Tehran in the near future.

Nasution – who is heading a major trade delegation in his trip to Tehran – further said that Indonesia was also interested in purchasing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Iran, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported.

Nevertheless, the official emphasized that a serious plan on the country’s agenda was to invest in two Iranian oil projects – Mansouri and Ab Teymour – which he said had the potential to produce a collective of 200,000 barrels per day.

Nasution said Iran and Indonesia were yet to fully use the available potentials to boost their mutual cooperation.

He said that there are a series of areas that have a high potential of cooperation. They, the Indonesia minister said, included agriculture, oil and gas, tourism and customs affairs.

Vaezi, for his part, said Tehran expected to see an increase of 25 percent in its level of trade with Indonesia in 2017.

Accordingly, he emphasized, the value of trade between the two countries would reach above $1.2 billion.

The Iranian minister expressed hope that signing the related economic cooperation agreements particularly one that would involve the preferential tariffs would help enhance the level of trade between the two countries.

Indonesia - Iran Tingkatkan Kemitraan

Indonesia - Iran Tingkatkan Kemitraan
JAKARTA - Iran dan Indonesia secara konsisten mengembangkan hubungan kerja sama bilateral. Duta Besar Iran untuk Indonesia, Valillah Mohammadi, menjelaskan pada 2017 ini sudah ada sejumlah kerja sama baru yang disepakati kedua negara.

“Iran mau menyuplai gas elpiji ke Indonesia. Kami juga sudah menandatangani kerja sama jual-beli minyak bumi, dan kargo pertama sudah diberangkatkan dari Iran sudah dibicarakan pula soal investasi Iran di Indonesia,” kata Mohammadi, Kamis malam (09/02), disela-sela hari peringatan revolusi Iran, di kediamannya di Menteng, Jakarta.

Saat ini, Pertamina sedang melakukan proses negosiasi untuk menanamkan investasinya di dua ladang minyak Iran.

Diharapkan hasil-hasil kerja sama, yang telah dilakukan beberapa tahun terakhir, bisa terlihat pada tahun ini.

Dikatakan Mohammadi, dalam dua tahun terakhir, hubungan perdagangan kedua negara mengalami peningkatan hingga 30 persen. Sebelumnya, hubungan dagang Iran dengan Indonesia sempat mengalami penurunan karena adanya embargo ekonomi terhadap Iran. Namun, setelah sanksi tersebut dilonggarkan, perdagangan antar-kedua negara pun kembali meroket.

Selain gas elpiji, Iran mengekspor barang-barang petrokimia ke Indonesia. Sebaliknya, Indonesia mengekspor karet, kertas, dan barang-barang furnitur ke Iran. Pada tahun ini, kedua negara menargetkan nilai perdagangan bisa menyentuh angka dua miliar dollar AS.

“Kami berharap target ini bisa dibantu oleh para pengusaha di kedua negara,” kata Mohammadi.

Sementara bidang pariwisata, pada 2016 tercatat ada sekitar 4.500 warga negara Iran berwisata ke Indonesia. Pada 2017, Kedutaan Besar Iran di Jakarta berharap akan terjadi peningkatan jumlah turis dari negara itu berkunjung ke Indonesia. uci/AR-3
