"The Indonesian government is making a good policy because it decides to improve the various infrastructures within the framework of the Asian Games, which in turn can become a legacy that will continue to exist," said Rob Fenn in Jakarta, Tuesday (26/6/2018)

He also said that the British government is very supportive of the implementation of the Asian Games in Indonesia.

"We are also taking part in supporting Indonesia as host of this year's Asian Games, one of them in velodrome building project, where UK is commercially involved," he said.

The velodrome project in Jakarta does involve an English company ES Global as its main contractor.
