On April 29, 2011, Premier of the State Council Wen Jiabao met with Indonesian President Susilo in Jakarta, Indonesia. The two sides sincerely exchanged in-depth views and reached important consensus on the bilateral relations and the regional and international issues of common concern.

Wen conveyed President Hu Jintao’s cordial greetings to Susilo.

Wen said that China and Indonesia are two major emerging developing countries in Asia. The two countries hold wide common interest and vast cooperation potential. Having entered into a new stage of all-round development, the bilateral relations are of strategic significance to the region and the world at large. China attaches great importance to Indonesia’s key status and role in the international affairs, support Indonesia’s growth and expects to work with Indonesia to bring the bilateral relations to a higher level and create a bright future for Asia.

Susilo asked Wen to convey sincere greetings to President Hu Jintao and extended warm welcome to Wen. He said that Indonesia pays great attention to the relations with China and regards China as an important strategic partner. The bilateral relations enjoy a solid foundation and promising prospects. Since the two countries established the strategic partnership in 2005, bilateral cooperation in all fields has moved forward comprehensively and the bilateral ties maintained a sound momentum of development. He hopes the two sides take the opportunity of Wen’s visit to expand consensus, plan future cooperation and lift the bilateral strategic partnership to a new level.

The two leaders are satisfied with the progress of the friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation between their countries and agreed to make joint efforts in the following aspects in order to further step up China-Indonesia strategic partnership.

First, China and Indonesia will comprehensively implement the action plan of bilateral strategic partnership on the basis of respecting each other’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, strengthen high-level mutual visits, establish the regular meeting mechanism of leaders, improve the high-level strategic dialogue mechanism, enhance dialogue and cooperation under the mechanism of the joint committee of foreign ministers of both countries and build up political mutual trust.

Second, the two countries will deepen pragmatic cooperation in all fields. They will work hard to achieve the new target of US$80 billion of bilateral trade volume by 2015, grow the bilateral trade in a strong, balanced and sustainable manner and expand mutual investment on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Indonesia welcomes Chinese enterprises’ active participation in its infrastructure construction and will strengthen bilateral cooperation on electricity, clean energy and manufacturing sector. China will provide Indonesia with US$1 billion of preferential export buyer's credit and US$8 billion of financing facilities to support Indonesia’s infrastructure construction and development of key industries. They will conduct long-term reliable cooperation in the energy sector and step up cooperation on agriculture, marine affairs, non-traditional security and disaster prevention and relief.

Third, the two sides will further deepen cultural and educational exchanges. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of China-ASEAN dialogue relationship, the “Experience China” event will be held in Indonesia. Government scholarship will be expanded and the agreement on mutual recognition of degree and diploma will be signed as soon as possible so as to stimulate educational cooperation. Cooperation in the fields of tourism, art, film, media and exhibition and exchanges between youth and academia will be enhanced. The mutual visit of “100-youth” delegation between China and Indonesia will kick off next year in order to increase the mutual understanding and friendship between youth of both countries.

Fourth, China and Indonesia will intensify coordination and cooperation under the multilateral frameworks, jointly push forward China-ASEAN relations, stick to the correct direction and promote the healthy, stable and long-term development of East Asian cooperation and boost peace and prosperity in the region.

Following the talks, the two leaders attended the signing ceremony of bilateral cooperation documents and met the press together.
