Indonesia regards China as its most trustworthy friend and partner, and its development is inseparable from China’s support and participation. Indonesia is willing to continuously deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with China. While strengthening and expanding traditional cooperation in areas such as energy and mineral resources, both sides should also broaden cooperation in strategic emerging industries, including green energy, artificial intelligence, the digital economy, and biotechnology. Indonesia always welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in the country and will provide them with a fair and friendly business environment. The National Economic Council of Indonesia will vigorously support the deepening of cooperation across various fields between the two countries and make unremitting efforts for their common development and prosperity.
