On October 20th, Han Zheng, the special representative of President Xi Jinping and Vice President of China, attended the inauguration ceremony of Indonesia's new President Prabowo in Jakarta and met with him.
Han Zheng first conveyed President Xi Jinping's warm congratulations and good wishes to President Prabowo. Han Zheng stated that President Prabowo's immediate visit to China after his election reflects his deep friendship with China and high importance placed on the development of Sino Indonesian relations. President Xi Jinping held a meeting with the President and reached important consensus on further consolidating and deepening cooperation between the two countries. In his inaugural speech, the President elaborated on a series of important propositions such as food independence and poverty reduction, which are highly consistent with President Xi Jinping's people-centered development philosophy. China will support President Prabowo and the new Indonesian government in their smooth governance. We believe that under the leadership of the President, Indonesia will make greater progress in national development and construction. China is willing to work with Indonesia to follow the strategic guidance of the head of state, continuously promote the construction of a community with a shared future between China and Indonesia to new heights, and contribute to maintaining regional peace and stability and promoting world development and prosperity.
Han Zheng put forward three suggestions for the development of China Indonesia relations in the next stage. One is to build high-level strategic mutual trust and continue to firmly support each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns. The second is to deepen all-round mutually beneficial cooperation, so that the fruits of cooperation can benefit more people. The third is to carry out closer international cooperation and promote the development of global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction.
Prabowo asked Han Zheng to convey his heartfelt thanks and warm greetings to President Xi Jinping, and warmly welcomed Vice President Han Zheng to attend his inauguration ceremony in Indonesia as a special representative of President Xi Jinping. Prabowo stated that China is a major country with significant influence and a strong partner for Indonesia. The new Indonesian government attaches great importance to developing relations with China and will continue President Joko Widodo's friendly policy towards China. It is willing to further deepen mutual support and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides, strengthen international and regional affairs coordination, and promote greater development of bilateral relations.
