Russia will grant Indonesia a billion-dollar credit line to enable it to buy Russian military hardware, a Russian presidential spokesman said Monday.
The credit agreement was due to be signed when Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Jakarta on Thursday, Sergei Prikhodko told Russian news agencies.<>
“The amount of credit will be about one billion dollars (734 million euros)” he said.
Indonesia would not be placing any immediate orders, but the two leaders would discuss military and technical cooperation during the course of the visit, he added.
“Indonesia is a solvent country that produces oil, and Russia grants credit to such countries, if the possibility arises,” he was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.
Indonesia is a major arms buying client for Russia. In August it bought six Russian Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft for a cost of 330 to 350 million dollars. (dar)
