‍Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Monday called for closer alignment of China's Belt and Road Initiative with Indonesia's Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) doctrine, during talks with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Li's three-day visit to Indonesia takes place as this year marks the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership and the 15th anniversary of the strategic partnership between China and the ASEAN.

Li called on the two countries to strengthen capacity cooperation and push forward the cooperation in the construction of the high-speed rail link connecting its capital Jakarta with Bandung and Indonesia's Regional Integrated Economic Corridors initiative.

Chinese premier pledged deeper cooperation in trade and investment with Indonesia and expand the export of competitive high-quality products such as Indonesian palm oil, tropical fruits and coffee to China.

"We should also deepen cooperation in fishery processing, and encourage Chinese companies to expand investment in Indonesia. We hope Indonesia can provide more policy support and convenience," said the premier.

Li also stressed that Beijing is willing to work with Jakarta to jointly promote the upgrading of China-ASEAN cooperation, build a new "4+1" sub-regional cooperation model with Indonesia and other four countries in ASEAN, and accelerate the negotiation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the construction of the East Asian Economic Community to promote East Asian economic integration.

Joko, for his part, said the two countries have deepened cooperation in areas including economy, trade, investment and culture, and have achieved win-win results.

He thanked China's support in the Regional Integrated Economic Corridors initiative and said Indonesia is willing to accelerate the project of the high-speed rail link connecting Jakarta with Bandung and boost cooperation with China under the ASEAN-China framework and enhance coordination with China in global and regional affairs.

After talks, the two leaders witnessed the signing of cooperative papers.
