Rosan Roeslani on his Instagram account said he met with Eramet’s Group CEO, Christel Bories, on Monday and he was updated on Eramet’s investment plans.

“Eramet outlined its investment plans, including exploration of new areas in South Sulawesi and Papua as well as the development of the Responsible Green Electric Vehicle project involving various strategic partners,” Rosan said.

Eramet could not immediately be reached for comment.
