The Iranian government has offered to sell Indonesia cheap crude, according to reports.




The Jakarta Globe cited Indonesia's State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan as saying the Iranian ambassador to Indonesia, Mahmoud Farazandeh, made the offer on Thursday while he accompanied a special envoy from Iran's Energy Ministry.

�They said that they had crude oil that was appropriate for Indonesian oil refineries and that the prices of their crude oil was much cheaper. Does Indonesia want to buy?� the newspaper quoted Dahlan as saying.

According to the report, Dahlan referred the Iranians to state-run oil company Pertamina as they had the authority to respond to the offer.

Dahlan has previously stated that Indonesia would continue to co-operate with Iran despite embargoes from the West against Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme.
