Indonesia minister alleges Singapore resells LNG amid calls to improve ties: 'Some are traded and subsequently exported'
Indonesian Minister Bahlil Lahadalia claims Singapore resells some liquefied natural gas imported from Indonesia. He suggests that not all 148 cargoes sent to Singapore are used for its own internal needs. The minister stated that some of these cargoes are traded and exported to other nations. These comments were made on October 29 following a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto. No evidence was provided to support these allegations. This comes after Indonesia cut natural gas exports to Singapore on October 24 to focus on domestic demand.
