The two presidents believed that China-Indonesia relations have great strategic significance and far-reaching global influence and agreed to strive for a general direction of building the China-Indonesia community with a shared future, and commit to forging an exemplary model of major developing countries seeking mutual benefit, win-win results, common development and South-South cooperation.

Acknowledging the significant milestones in bilateral trade cooperation in recent years, the two heads of state agreed to further increase the bilateral trade volume.

China and Indonesia will conduct in-depth and high-quality cooperation through the synergy of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) and will speed up the formulation of a new Five-Year Action Plan for the Implementation of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between China and Indonesia (2022-2026), according to the statement.
