Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that as major countries in the Global South, China and Indonesia should work together to oppose unilateral bullying, safeguard regional peace and stability, and uphold international fairness and justice.

President Xi made the remarks in his meeting with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who is on a special trip to China to attend the commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Xi noted that President Prabowo's coming to China to attend the commemorative events despite difficulties shows the importance he attaches to China-Indonesia relations and the sincere friendship of the Indonesian people toward the Chinese people.

China supports President Prabowo's governance, Indonesia's restoration of order and stability as soon as possible, and the country's development and growth, Xi said.

Xi pointed out that, regardless of changes in the international situation, China and Indonesia have always carried forward the spirit of independence, adhered to the path of win-win cooperation, and demonstrated the responsibility of major countries for peaceful development.

China is willing to work with Indonesia to carry forward the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit, and promote the building of a China-Indonesia community with a shared future at a high level, Xi said.

He also stressed that the two sides should work to promote the stable and long-term development of bilateral relations and play an exemplary role in the region and even the world at large.

Xi urged the two countries to expand two-way opening-up and enhance cooperation in critical minerals, digital economy, artificial intelligence, and agriculture and fishery.

China stands ready to share its experience in poverty eradication with Indonesia, facilitate personnel exchanges, and enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges, Xi said.

The relations with China are a high priority of Indonesia's foreign policy, Prabowo said, adding that the relations between the two countries are at their best in history.

Indonesia looks forward to strengthening cooperation with China in fields including trade, investment, finance and infrastructure, Prabowo said.
