Russia is ready to supply Indonesia with advanced nuclear technologies across a wide range of sectors, from energy production to agriculture and medicine, Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Sergey Tolchenov said in a recent interview with the Ekuator podcast.
"Russia is ready to provide Indonesia with nuclear technologies not only in the energy sector but also in food processing, agriculture, and nuclear medicine," Tolchenov noted. Reflecting on Russia’s 80-year history in the nuclear industry, he emphasized that Moscow offers "proven and sovereign" technologies. Specifically, he pointed to advanced Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and floating nuclear power stations as practical solutions for the Indonesian archipelago.
The ambassador also touched on the shared values between the two nations, stating that both Russia and Indonesia prize their independence. "Neither country tolerates lectures from the outside," Tolchenov remarked. "We are self-sufficient in many key areas, and our peoples are open, friendly, and oriented toward cooperation."
This push for nuclear cooperation aligns with recent statements from Indonesian State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, who reaffirmed the government's commitment to self-reliance.
