《雅加达邮报》2015年9月30日讯，印尼国家发展规划部证实，日本国有和私人公司将不会参与到印度尼西亚的高速铁路项目中，但两国政府将继续在其他基础设施开发项目中进行合作。

The National Development Planning Ministry has confirmed that Japanese state-owned and private companies will not be participating in Indonesia's first-ever high-speed rail project, but the two governments were still planning to cooperate in other infrastructure development projects.

National Development Planning Minister Sofyan Djalil, who attended a meeting with the head of the Japanese Cabinet, secretary Yoshihide Suga, on Monday in Tokyo, said that Japan's private companies could not get involved in the project's business to business cooperation scheme, since it would violate the country's business model and regulations.

"Japan's business model and regulations have made it impossible [for Indonesia] to give a concession credit to Japanese companies," said Sofyan on Wednesday as quoted by Antara news agency.

According to Japan's feasibility study, the high-speed rail project would require around US$6.2 billion to go to completion. The Chinese proposal, on the other hand, foretasted a lower cost of $5.5 billion.

The Indonesian government has decided that the project would only run using a business to business scheme, without any budget, guarantee or state capital injection (PMN). It officially announced the stance in Monday's meeting.

Sofyan asserted that the state budget would only be used for strategic infrastructure projects, which were in accordance with national development priorities.

During Monday's meeting, Sofyan also acknowledged that infrastructure cooperation between Indonesia and Japan was still open, such as the Cilamaya seaport project in West Java.
