Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported today: "[Premier Li Qiang's visit to Indonesia] Premier Li Qiang pointed out that China has been Indonesia's largest trading partner for nine consecutive years, and China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Indonesia and jointly promote 'true multilateralism.' Indonesian President Prabowo emphasized that the two countries are at an important moment in the history of bilateral relations. The leaders of the two countries witnessed the signing of more than ten agreements covering local currency settlement, trade, investment, tourism, health, and agricultural product exports."
Comment: This visit by the premier to Indonesia is highly significant as it coincides with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Indonesia and the 70th anniversary of the Bandung Conference. The signing of more than ten agreements witnessed by the leaders of the two countries, such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project, not only improves Indonesia's infrastructure level but also sets a successful example for cooperation in the field of transportation infrastructure between the two countries. In the future, both sides can create similar landmark projects in more fields, promoting Indonesia's industrialization process and creating more opportunities for Chinese enterprises to "go global."
As developing major powers and important forces in the Global South, China and Indonesia working together to practice "true multilateralism" is a safeguard for international fairness and justice, providing Eastern wisdom and Asian strength for global governance. In international organizations and multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations and the G20, the two countries can strengthen coordination and cooperation to speak on behalf of developing countries.
