— Indonesia's resource potential: from monazite and xenotime to red mud and magnetic scrap;
— preliminary talks with Rosatom and Rusal;
— the main goal — processing raw materials into a final product rather than selling ore;
— his impressions of the Congress and plans to hold a joint Russia-Indonesia conference;
— Giredmet — the Congress organizer, which is celebrating its 95th anniversary this year: the guest congratulated the institute and expressed hope for future cooperation with the Indonesian agency.
