Trade Minister Tim Groser and his Indonesian ministerial counterparts signed four agreements covering cooperation in agriculture, environment, labour and geothermal energy.

“A programme of cooperation in geothermal energy will provide increased commercial opportunities for New Zealand businesses to assist Indonesia with its energy development programme,” says Prime Minister John Key.

The countries have a long history in geothermal energy cooperation. New Zealand and Indonesian engineers developed Indonesia’s first geothermal energy plant at Kamojang, West Java in the 1970s.
