China, Indonesia pledge to enhance cooperation

Countries back multilateralism, oppose protectionism amid global challenges

China and Indonesia vowed to further enhance bilateral relations and cooperation amid ongoing major changes in the world, as Premier Li Qiang met with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta on Sunday.

Li, who arrived on Saturday for a three-day official visit to the Southeast Asian nation, told Prabowo during their talks that China hopes to work together with Indonesia to strengthen solidarity and collaboration and jointly address risks and challenges.

Noting that China and Indonesia are good neighbors and good partners, Li said the two countries have supported each other and stood by each other since the establishment of diplomatic relations 75 years ago, and their traditional friendship has become stronger than ever.
