"Therefore, the existence of this cooperation will be good for both parties," he explained.

Previously in January 2018, PT. Jorong Port Development has also established business cooperation with PT. Pertagas Niaga (a subsidiary of PT Pertamina which specializes in natural gas and its derivatives) related to gas supply in the Jorong industrial area.

"We did not expect to be able to cooperate with most BUMNs. For that, we thank you again and hope that this MoU can continue," said Wishnu.
