The agreement also includes Russian commitments to build energy infrastructure in Indonesia to enhance national energy resilience, with ongoing negotiations for LPG imports to diversify the nation's annual 7 million tonne requirement.

        "content": "<p>Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia\nreported to President Prabowo Subianto that the government has secured a\nsupply of crude oil from Russia.<\/p>\n<p>This was revealed by Bahlil after a limited meeting at the State\nPalace in Jakarta on Thursday (16\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>As is known, Bahlil had met face-to-face with Russian Energy Minister\nSergey Tsivilev on Tuesday (15\/4\/2026). This meeting was a follow-up to\nhigh-level discussions between President Prabowo and Russian President\nVladimir Putin at the Kremlin the day before.<\/p>\n<p>Not only securing a crude oil supply, the meeting also resulted in\ncommitments from the Russian side to build infrastructure in Indonesia\nto enhance energy resilience, according to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, following the President\u2019s instructions yesterday, I\nmet with the Energy Minister and Special Envoy from President Putin, and\nthe news is quite encouraging that we will receive crude supplies from\nRussia and the Russian side is ready to build several important\ninfrastructures to increase our national reserves and energy\nresilience,\u201d said Bahlil after the meeting at the Palace on Thursday\n(16\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, according to Bahlil, his side is also continuing\nintensive communications regarding LPG supplies for Indonesia from\nRussia. As is known, Indonesia imports around 7 million tonnes of LPG\nevery year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, we are also communicating regarding LPG. We know that\nour LPG is around 7 million tonnes imported every year, and now we are\ndiversifying and insya Allah we will also receive support, but this\nstill requires effort and communication in two or three stages, but for\nthe crude, I think it\u2019s almost final,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bahlil did not want to disclose the volume of crude oil to\nbe imported from Russia. Because there is an agreement prohibiting\ndiscussion of the import volume.<\/p>\n<p>But Bahlil emphasised that Indonesia\u2019s crude oil supply until\nDecember is assured to be secure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor crude, one year from this month until December, insya Allah it\u2019s\nalready secure. So we don\u2019t need to worry; we just need to increase our\nrefinery production,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
