China is willing to work with Indonesia to ensure the high-quality operation of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, and continue carrying out cooperation in talent training, technology transfer and other aspects, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday.

Lin made the remarks in response to a report that Indonesian drivers are now capable of driving high-speed trains at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

"Since the successful opening of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway last year, the teams of both sides have carried out all-round cooperation in high-speed railway operation and management, talent training, technology transfer and other aspects. As far as we know, at present, the Chinese operation team of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway has completed the qualification training of the first batch of more than 160 trainees including Indonesian high-speed train drivers and other positions. We are delighted that Indonesia now has its own high-speed railway technical team which is not only a vivid epitome of the mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between China and Indonesia, but also an interpretation of the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits upheld by the Belt and Road Initiative. China is willing to work with Indonesia to ensure the high-quality operation of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway and make it a road to prosperity, happiness and safety," Lin said.

The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) is a flagship project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, which officially started operation on Oct 17, 2023.
