China International Engineering Corporation EPC General Contracting Indonesia LNG Project Landing
During a critical period of global energy transition and Indonesia's efforts to promote energy security, China International Engineering Corporation signed an EPC contract for the East Java liquefied natural gas project with Indonesian companies. This move not only marks the successful expansion of the "new track" of oil and gas energy by China International, but also injects new impetus into Indonesia, a major energy consuming country in the region, to optimize its energy structure and promote regional development. As the EPC general contractor, Zhonggong International will leverage its global engineering experience and comprehensive advantages to assist in the efficient implementation of the project. This project is another important achievement of the docking of China's the Belt and Road Initiative and Indonesia's global maritime pivot strategy, opening a new chapter for energy cooperation between the two countries, and also providing a practical example for technology and industrial cooperation among countries in the South.
