Indonesia’s Jokowi meets China’s Xi Jinping, both pledge to step up bilateral cooperation
Indonesian President Joko Widodo met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday (Jul 26) in Beijing during the first leg of his three-day working visit to Northeast Asia.
Mr Widodo is the first foreign leader to visit China since the Winter Olympics in February as the country adopts a strict “zero COVID-19” policy resulting in limited visits of officials from overseas.
His visit comes at the invitation of Mr Xi.
Mr Widodo or Jokowi, as the president is popularly known, has expressed the hope that the visit would strengthen the bilateral ties and cooperation between the two countries.
“China is Indonesia's comprehensive strategic partner. We must fill this partnership with cooperation that is beneficial for our country, and at the same time for the region and the world," said Jokowi.
Meanwhile, Mr Xi said that Mr Widodo is the first head of state the Chinese side has received after the Beijing Winter Olympics.
“This is quite enough to prove how intimate the relationship between the two sides is," said Mr Xi.
....
The two countries agreed to speed up the formulation of a new Five-Year Action Plan for the Implementation of the China-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
They will also cooperate through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) and are committed to complete the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway on schedule as a flagship project.
