As China's annual Two Sessions political meetings commence this week, Indonesia's Ambassador to China Djauhari Oratmangun has highlighted their significance in reinforcing international economic stability during an exclusive interview with KhabarAsia.com. The high-profile gatherings of China's top legislative and advisory bodies come at a critical juncture for Asia's economic recovery.
"The world is closely watching China's policy directions emerging from these sessions," Ambassador Oratmangun stated. "For Indonesia, this represents a crucial opportunity to align our G20 presidency priorities with China's development agenda."
The ambassador emphasized three key areas of potential cooperation:
Enhanced infrastructure investment through China's Belt and Road Initiative
Accelerated digital economy partnerships in Southeast Asia
Joint climate action initiatives ahead of COP31
With bilateral trade reaching $130 billion in 2025, both nations are exploring new collaboration frameworks in green energy and maritime resource management. The ambassador specifically noted Indonesia's interest in China's evolving foreign investment policies, expected to be clarified during the sessions.
Analysts suggest the 2026 Two Sessions outcomes could particularly influence:
ASEAN-China free trade zone upgrades
Cross-border e-commerce regulations
Regional supply chain resilience measures
As the meetings progress this week, international observers await concrete policy announcements that could shape Asia's economic trajectory through 2026 and beyond.
