Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Wednesday took a ride on the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR), a landmark project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative. Widodo examined the construction progress at Halim Station in Jakarta and took the train to Bandung.

The Jakarta-Bandung HSR connects Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, and West Java's provincial capital, Bandung. With a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the railway, which spans 142.3 km, will cut the journey between the two cities from over three hours to around 40 minutes. It is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese railway systems, technology and industrial components.
