Hungarian businesses sign USD 37.6bn worth of agreements with Indonesia

Jakarta, February 1 (MTI) – Hungarian companies signed 37.6 million US dollars worth of agreements in Indonesia on Monday, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said during a visit in Jakarta.

Szijjarto, a member of a delegation led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said the most important contract signed was for the Budapest Water Works to build water treatment systems in 34 Indonesian localities. The value of the contract is 36 million dollars and this could grow as the Budapest Works will take part in Indonesia’s plans to weigh up modernisation needs in the country’s water system, Szijjarto told MTI.

Hungarian IT companies will also be able to complete 1.6 million dollars worth of developments for Indonesian IT firms, he said. From the middle of next year Hungarian mobile phone provider Cellum will supply the applications to be bundled into the largest Indonesian mobile phone operator’s system, Szijjarto added.
