China highly appreciated Indonesia's adherence to one-China
policy, which formed important political basis for developing
relations with China, said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Singapore
on Tuesday.
China and Indonesia are friendly neighbors and strategic
partners, Wen said while meeting with Indonesian President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono.
"The Chinese side will continue to support Indonesia and closely
coordinate with the country on important issues of mutual concern,"
Wen said.
The Chinese premier expressed his hope that the two countries
will formulate a common action plan for their strategic
partnership, sign an agreement on expanding bilateral economic and
trade cooperation, and enhance their cooperation in the fields of
trade, construction of infrastructure and agriculture.
During the meeting, Susilo highly spoke of Indonesia's relations
with China, saying their strategic partnership is developing
smoothly and their bilateral cooperation is fruitful in various
fields.
He expressed his confidence that the bilateral trade volume will
reach the goal of 30 billion U.S. dollars in 2010.
Indonesia is looking forward to developing closer relations with
China, strengthening their coordination on regional issues and
expanding cooperation in the fields of trade, investment and
energy.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of a series of ASEAN
(Association of Southeast Asian Nations) meetings, including the
11th ASEAN plus Three (China, Japan and the Republic of Korea)
Summit, the 11th China-ASEAN Summit, the third East Asia Summit,
and the eighth meeting of leaders of China, Japan and the Republic
of Korea (ROK).
