JAKARTA, May 5 -- China will work with Indonesia to further enhance the complementarity between their development strategies, and work with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to develop a joint vision, said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Saturday.
Li made the remarks in a signed article entitled "Embarking on new voyage of China-Indonesia friendly cooperation," published in the Jakarta Post, a leading English-language newspaper in Indonesia.
On his visit to Indonesia in 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the initiative of building a 21st century maritime silk road. Since then, a strong synergy has developed between this initiative and Indonesia's vision as a global maritime fulcrum, reenergizing centuries-old sea lanes and the shared dream of harnessing the ocean to the benefit of the two peoples, said Li.
China has been Indonesia's largest trading partner for seven years in a row, as well as Indonesia's main source of foreign investment. In 2017, their two-way trade reached 63.3 billion U.S. dollars, up 18 percent year-on-year.
The Chinese premier said China will support Indonesia in building regional economic corridors and upgrading its infrastructure and industrial development to make the maritime bond between the two countries even stronger.
China looks forward to stronger exchanges covering education, culture, youth, media and think tanks to bring the two peoples even closer, said Li.
