JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Indonesia is pushing for faster progress on flagship infrastructure projects on which it is cooperating with Japan, but various issues have yet to be settled, not least on pricing.

Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi met with top officials in Japan last week to discuss several projects, including the second phase of MRT Jakarta, the Makassar-Parepare railway, Patimban seaport and a vehicle testing facility (BPLJSKB) in Bekasi, West Java.
