Indonesian President Joko Widodo and President of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Xi Jinping are committed to strengthening mutually beneficial economic cooperation.

“China is Indonesia's comprehensive strategic partner. We must fill this partnership with cooperation that is beneficial for our country, as well as for the region and the world," said President Jokowi after the meeting was held at Villa 14, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Beijing, Tuesday (26/7/2022).

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that apart from economic cooperation, the two leaders also discussed various issues. These include regional and global issues.

“As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has an important place for China and the region. Especially now that Indonesia holds the G20 Presidency and next year will be the Chair of ASEAN," said Retno.

Retno said the G20 and ASEAN issues were also discussed in the meeting between Indonesia and China.

"Indonesia expresses its appreciation for China's support for Indonesia's chairmanship in the G20. Regarding ASEAN, Indonesia is committed to making ASEAN relevant, not only for the Indonesian people but also for the region and the world," she said.

President Xi, continued Retno, expressed her appreciation for President Jokowi's efforts in seeking peace and improving the humanitarian situation. Among other things through a visit to Kyiv and Moscow.

"This visit is considered by President Xi to show Indonesia's responsibility as a big country," she said.

Retno added that the two leaders also discussed the importance of mutually beneficial concrete cooperation in the context of the Global Development Initiative (GDI).

"If concrete cooperation can be realized, it is hoped that the achievement of the SDGs of developing countries can be better," she said, continuing.

In addition, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that China was committed to increasing green economy cooperation. Among others, through the construction of the Green Industrial Park in Kaltara.

"President Xi also emphasized his commitment to increasing imports of Indonesian agricultural products," said Retno. (RRI)
