Indonesia is set to launch Southeast Asia’s first high-speed railway, a delayed multibillion-dollar project backed by China that will cut travel between capital Jakarta and another major city by hours. The Chinese-made bullet train named “Whoosh” is built to take more than 600 people to and from Jakarta and the Javan city of Bandung in 45 minutes and is part of China’s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative comprising multiple countries in Asia. The train can reach speeds up to 350 kmph and has cost a joint Chinese-Indonesian venture more than $7 billion to build. It was set to cost less than $5 billion and be built by 2019 but delays due to construction issues and the COVID-19 pandemic saw costs spike.            About Indonesia            Capital: Jakarta                 President: Joko Widodo              Currency: Indonesian rupiah
