Indonesian FM in China: Chinese FM Wang Yi meets Retno Marsudi in Beijing
[]
WANG YI CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER "China is Indonesia's biggest trading partner. Last year, our two-way trade made good progress, and imbalances in our bilateral trade have been gradually resolved. China is now Indonesia's biggest source of foreign tourists. Last year, Chinese citizens made two million visits to Indonesia. And the potential for further growth is great. If we consider the investment by Chinese companies not only at home but in third-party markets, China now stands as Indonesia's biggest source of foreign investment. Progress has also been made in our cooperation in many other fields, such as people-to-people and cultural exchanges, education, law-inforcement, aerospace and maritime cooperation."
RETNO MARSUDI INDONESIAN FOREIGN MINISTER "This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the China-ASEAN strategic partnership. China and ASEAN have made great contributions to peace and prosperity in the region. And Indonesia and China have proposed an action plan from 2017 to 2021 to promote the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries."
