BEIJING, May 20 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Indonesian National Economic Council Chairman Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan in Beijing on Tuesday.
As Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, recalled, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Chinese-Indonesian diplomatic relations.
The Chinese Foreign Minister pointed out that China is willing to work with Indonesia to deepen political mutual trust, efficiently promote such landmark projects as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Corridor, strengthen cooperation in various fields including maritime activities and mining, and unleash the potential for cooperation in emerging sectors.
Wang Yi stressed that the world is currently facing the regressive attacks of unilateralism, and trade bullying is detrimental to the interests of all countries. He said China and Indonesia should adhere to independence and self-reliance, expand cooperation for mutual benefit, and uphold fairness and justice.
China congratulates Indonesia on its official entry into BRICS and stands ready to work with it to uphold the “Bandung spirit,” promote regional economic integration, resist the attacks of unilateralism and deglobalization, jointly build a common home in the Asia-Pacific region, and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Chinese Foreign Minister added.
Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, for his part, noted that the Indonesia-China friendship is extremely strong. Noting that Indonesia’s economic development is inseparable from mutually beneficial cooperation with China, he noted that bilateral cooperation in areas such as economy, trade, finance, technology transfer and human resource training is fruitful, and such landmark projects as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway benefit the people of both countries. Bilateral cooperation also has a positive impact on neighboring countries, the Chairman of the National Economic Council of Indonesia emphasized.
Indonesia hopes to strengthen exchanges with China at all levels, expand areas of cooperation, strengthen cultural and humanitarian exchanges, promote the development of an Indonesia-China community with a shared future, and jointly advance solidarity and cooperation among countries in the Global South, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan added. –0–
