The high-speed rail project remains a priority for the Indonesian government amid reports that said it had been "halted" and did not come through official channels, the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing told China Daily on Friday.
Santo Darmosumarto, counselor of social and cultural affairs at the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing said the project was definitely ongoing as the Indonesian government just issued a presidential decree in January listing the project as one of their 225 priority projects for 2016.
"I think the media has been too sensational about the project," Darmosumarto said, and stressed that such project involves a process and regulations that have to be complied with.
