As many as 4,397,740 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the form of finished products have arrived in Indonesia as part of the 129th shipment, Communication and Informatics Minister Johnny G. Plate informed on Wednesday. "With this (vaccine) arrival, the total number of vaccines that have arrived both in the form of bulk and finished products is around 358 million," he said in a statement released here. He assured that the government is continuing to increase vaccine stocks to fulfill the needs of Indonesians in a bid to bolster immunity against COVID-19. "This effort is proof of the government's seriousness in fighting the pandemic," he remarked. Based on Health Ministry data, as of November 23, 2021, around 135 million Indonesians have received the first vaccine dose, while 90 million have been fully vaccinated against the virus, he said. Among the adolescent group, 23 million teenagers have received the first dose, or 86 percent of the targeted recipients, he noted. Meanwhile, as many as 15 million teens have received the full dose, he said. In addition, first dose vaccines have been administered to 11 million older adults, while 6.9 million of them have been fully immunized, he informed. In 2022, older adults, who are in the vulnerable group, are planned to be included in the first group of booster vaccine recipients, followed by participants who receive BPJS Health contribution assistance (PBI), he said. For this reason, community participation is needed to help older adults get COVID-19 vaccines without delay, he added. Regarding the preparations for administering boosters or third vaccine doses in 2022, the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) has issued emergency-use permits for 11 COVID-19 vaccines, he said. "The eleven COVID-19 vaccines are Sinovac, PT Bio Farma's COVID-19 vaccine, AstraZeneca, Sinopharm, Moderna, Pfizer, Sputnik V, Zifivax, Janssen, Convidecia, and Covovax," the minister expounded.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) revealed that the green industrial park in North Kalimantan will be expanded to 30 thousand hectares, from the original plan of 13 thousand hectares.

He expounded that the decision to expand the green industrial zone is based on the rising demand for green products or environment-friendly goods.

“We obtained more information yesterday. Due to the rising demand to produce more green products, we will broaden (the green industrial park) to reach 30 thousand hectares,” President Jokowi remarked at the Bank Indonesia Annual Meeting here on Wednesday.

He noted that the green industrial park, located in North Kalimantan, will perhaps become the largest in the world. Its construction will begin in December 2021.

He called to immediately apply the strategy of environment-friendly economic development or green economy.

President Jokowi opined that the outlook of the world economy will rely heavily on green economic activities that prioritize sustainable growth.

Indonesia has abundant green economic wealth, such as energy from water (hydropower), geothermal energy, and wind energy resources, as well as from underwater currents and solar power, he stated.

Jokowi highlighted that the country had 4,400 rivers as hydropower resources. Thus, in the near future, the government will focus on energy production from water resources starting from the Kayan River in North Kalimantan and Mamberamo River in Papua.

“The Kayan River can yield about 13 thousand MW, while Mamberamo can approximately generate 24 thousand MW. Only two rivers can produce a total of 37 thousand MW. (Imagine how much) 4,400 rivers can result in the green economy,” he expounded.

If accumulated, Indonesia’s energy wealth, classified as renewable energy (EBT), will amount to 418 GW, he pointed out.

“If we manage the energy potential from geothermal, wind, underwater currents, and solar cells through consistency and courage, then we can make a breakthrough, and (energy) can be our economic strength going forward,” the president expounded.
