Chinese Premier Li Qiang called for deepened collaboration with Indonesia during his official visit to Jakarta on Saturday, emphasizing a shared commitment to modernization and mutual development. The visit marks a strategic step in strengthening one of Asia's most consequential bilateral partnerships.
In a written statement upon arrival, Li affirmed China's readiness to 'continuously enrich the China-Indonesia community with a shared future' while working with President Prabowo Subianto's administration. The two nations aim to align development strategies, particularly in infrastructure, green energy, and digital transformation.
This diplomatic engagement builds on recent progress in the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership, which has seen $7.4 billion in new investment commitments this year. Analysts highlight Indonesia's critical role in regional supply chains and its position as a key partner in China's Belt and Road Initiative.
'Our cooperation transcends economic metrics,' Li noted, underscoring plans for cultural exchanges and joint climate resilience projects. The visit coincides with preparations for the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2025.
