Minister Luhut thanked Huawei for more than 21 years of efforts in building digital infrastructure and developing a digital ecosystem in Indonesia. "Indonesia is preparing for strategic projects such as new energy development and smart technologies to hold the G20 Summit in Bali next year. Huawei will enter the market in Japan's efforts to promote green development and smart futures. I hope. Huawei recognizes that it has extremely advanced technology in this field. "

In July of this year, the Indonesian government set the goal of achieving zero net emissions by 2060 at the latest. This is 10 years earlier than the previous estimate of 2070. In addition, Indonesia's digitization has become a top priority development under President Joko Widodo. The country is driving the growth of the digital economy and planning the rapid development of the high-tech industry.

Huawei Rotating Chairman Guo Ping welcomed Minister Luhut and thanked the Indonesian government for its great support over the last 20 years. "Indonesia has the potential to develop the high-tech industry. At Huawei, as part of Indonesia's digital ecosystem, we will focus on technological innovation and leverage advanced digital technologies such as 5G, AI cloud and IoT. We will make every effort to support the construction of a robust ICT infrastructure and the realization of digitalization. "

Guo Ping added, "In addition to realizing digital transformation, Huawei will contribute to Indonesia's green transformation and the development of new energy by utilizing digital technology."

Huawei predicts that it will continue to experience intelligence and low-carbon momentum over the next 30 to 40 years. Digital technology is needed to drive intelligence, and power engineering technology is essential to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. As this trend progresses, the global energy industry will shift from resource-dependent to technology-driven.

In addition to the meeting, Minister Luhut visited the Huawei campuses in Shenzhen and Dongguan. A colleague of Minister Luhut's Cabinet, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin of the Republic of Indonesia, and Trade Minister Muhammad Lutfi accompanied him.

Digital human resources development in Indonesia is one of Huawei's important contributions. Huawei will partner with the Indonesian Presidential Office (KSP) in 2020 to launch a nationwide digital human resources program, aiming to develop more than 100,000 digital human resources in five years. In less than the first two years, it has achieved half of its five-year goal, demonstrating the company's earnestness and enthusiasm to support Indonesia's vision.

In addition to developing digital human resources, Huawei will build an emergency communication infrastructure, provide high-speed telemedicine video conferences by providing WIFI6 technology, and use AI to mitigate the effects of the spread of the new coronavirus infection. We have helped Indonesia through technical solutions, from infectious disease patient diagnosis.

Huawei has also made digital transformations to help small businesses meet the surge in demand from online customers, and has helped 500 universities promote digital transformation and a seamless remote learning experience through donations of cloud accounts.
