[Indonesian President inspects "Belt and Road Initiative" key project-Indonesia Delong Industrial Park celebrates the commissioning of the Giant Shield Nickel Project. Indonesia Delong Industrial Park has now been built into a large-scale industrial park with two bases in Kendali and North Morovali. Delong Industrial Park in Indonesia has put into operation 42 ferronickel production lines, 3 power plants, 3 stainless steel billet production lines and 2 self-operated terminals.

President Joko delivered an important speech

President Joko made an important speech in which he said: Indonesia has stopped exporting nickel mines and attracted foreign investors to invest in production in Indonesia, which has led to the rapid growth of Indonesia's domestic industry and downstream industry chain and increased the added value of the industry. Today we witness that we are about to start the Judun Nickel Iron and Steel Plant with an annual output of 1.8 million tons, which processes nickel ore into ferronickel, increasing the added value of its products by 14 times, while if it is processed from nickel ore into stainless steel billet, its added value will increase by 19 times. I ask the local government, especially the provincial governor and county magistrate, to protect the investors, so that our government can get taxes and a lot of foreign exchange, and residents can get more employment opportunities. Delong Industrial Park in Indonesia has 27000 Indonesian employees. This is what we want to see. You must create a safe and stable investment environment for companies or investors so that they can increase their investment in the future. We also hope that the surrounding villagers can also enjoy its benefits, whether in terms of employment or small or medium-sized entrepreneurial opportunities, so as to promote the economic development of the province or county where the park is located.

The Minister of Economic Co-ordination affirmed it.

In his speech, the Minister of Economic Co-ordination first congratulated Judun Nickel Co., Ltd. on its successful production and spoke highly of the development of the Delong Industrial Park in Indonesia, saying that all departments of the Indonesian government would strongly support the construction and development of the Delong Industrial Park in Indonesia.

Chairman Zhu Mingdong introduced the situation of the park.

Zhu Mingdong, chairman of the board, briefed President Zoko on the park. Since 2014, Jiangsu Delong Nickel Co., Ltd., CFHI Group Co., Ltd., and Xiamen Xiangyu Group Co., Ltd. have invested in Indonesia to build Delong Industrial Park in Indonesia. At present, the two smelters that have been put into production have an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of nickel iron and 2.5 million tons of stainless steel. At present, the number of Indonesian employees in the park has reached 27000. Indonesia's better and better investment environment and strong support from governments at all levels have strengthened our confidence in Indonesia's investment and development. Among them, the four industrial parks that have been developed and are about to be developed focus on the smelting industry, located in Conawi County, North Morovali County, North Hamahera County and Kidabong County. To date, the total investment is 96.6 trillion rupiah.

North Molovari base is an overseas nickel-iron and stainless steel industrial park wholly owned by Jiangsu Delong Nickel Industry Co., Ltd., China. The park covers an area of 1907 hectares and has three enterprises GNI, NNI and SAH wharf. Among them, GNI has been listed as a national strategic project in Indonesia and has been approved as a national duty-free zone in Indonesia. It is proposed to invest 11 billion yuan, mainly in nickel-iron smelting production, and the company is equipped with auxiliary production facilities such as self-provided wharves and power plants. The commissioning and development of GNI will optimize Indonesia's industrial chain and increase the added value of Indonesian raw materials.

General Manager Zhou Yuan said: president Joko's visit shows that he attaches great importance to the joint construction of "Belt and Road Initiative" between China and Indonesia.
