German Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan led a business delegation to Indonesia to strengthen energy sector partnerships. Indonesia has been designated as a new focus country for German development policy, aiming to align economic interests with sustainable development goals.

The mission focuses on supporting Indonesia’s energy transition through investments in renewable energy and modern power grids. This cooperation is linked to an international partnership for a just energy transition, which seeks to mobilize approximately 20 billion US dollars alongside partners like Japan. During the visit, the Minister co-opened ‘Indonesia Sustainable Energy Week’ and met with Indonesian ministers to facilitate market access for German technology providers.

In addition to economic discussions, the visit included a focus on interfaith dialogue. Radovan visited the Istiqlal Mosque and Jakarta Cathedral to highlight religious harmony and interfaith tolerance. She specifically noted the mosque’s use of solar energy as a practical example of the clean energy transition.
