Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed Beijing’s strong support for Indonesia’s growing influence on the global stage during meetings with Indonesian leaders this week. 🇮🇩 The two nations pledged deeper cooperation to combat regional tensions and boost economic ties, signaling a united front in an era of shifting geopolitics.
At a sit-down with President Joko Widodo, Wang hailed Indonesia’s recent elections as a milestone for democracy and stressed China’s commitment to advancing their 'community of shared future' vision. 💬 'China stands ready to work with Indonesia to set an example of solidarity among developing countries,' he said, emphasizing mutual trust and infrastructure collaboration—including high-speed rail projects that could reshape Southeast Asia’s connectivity.
Widodo welcomed increased Chinese investment, calling China a 'key partner' in Indonesia’s development. 🚄 With plans for more joint ventures on the horizon, both sides aim to counter what Wang described as 'divisive forces' threatening regional stability.
The talks also touched on global governance reforms, with Wang advocating for a 'more equitable' international system—a nod to the Global South’s rising voice. 🌍 Indonesia, meanwhile, reiterated its adherence to the one-China policy, aligning with Beijing’s stance on cross-strait issues.
As Wang wrapped up his visit with incoming President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, the message was clear: This partnership isn’t just about economics—it’s about shaping Asia’s future. 💼✨
