BEIJING, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Indonesia to continue to ensure the high-quality operation of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) and give full play to the project's role in promoting Indonesia's socio-economic development and regional connectivity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Monday.
Guo Jiakun made this statement at a regular departmental press conference in response to a corresponding inquiry.
Guo Jiakun said that since the official opening of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway two years ago, the line has operated safely, smoothly, and in an orderly manner. Total passenger traffic during its operation has already exceeded 11.71 million, and it is steadily growing.
The economic and social benefits of the operation of the aforementioned East Siberian Railway are steadily being realized, as evidenced by the creation of a large number of jobs in the country and a strong impetus for economic development along the railway route, which has received recognition and approval from various circles of society in Indonesia, noted Guo Jiakun.
He further indicated that the governments of the two countries are paying great attention to the development of the project, adding that the competent authorities and relevant enterprises are closely cooperating to provide a reliable guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway.
"When evaluating a high-speed rail project, not only financial data and economic indicators should be considered, but also social benefits and overall cost-effectiveness," Guo Jiakun emphasized. -0-
