President Xi Jinping in China said on Wednesday that Beijing will encourage more companies to participate in infrastructure construction and operations in Indonesia.
Xi made the
remarks when meeting with Indonesian president Joko Widodo in Jakarta during
the two-day Asian-African leaders' meeting held here. He also promised to encourage
more Chinese citizens to travel to Indonesia.
Widodo
welcomed Xi's proposal to increase investment in Indonesia's infrastructure.
The two presidents witnessed the signing of cooperation documents for a
high-speed rail project after the meeting
Noting that
this year marks the 60th anniversary of the Bandung Conference, Xi said the
conference is of epoch-making significance and he is willing to work with
Widodo to inherit and carry forward the Bandung Spirit, and strengthen
solidarity, friendship and cooperation among developing countries.
Stressing
that this year also marks 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic
relations between China and Indonesia, Xi said following Widodo's successful
visit to China last month, the two countries should work together to translate
the consensus reached into tangible results.
China and
Indonesia should maintain the good momentum of close communication at all
levels to step up the implementation of agreements already reached between the
two countries, he said.
He urged
the two countries to achieve trade balance through a comprehensive approach and
well implemented bilateral currency swap agreement.
China will
continue to support the building of ASEAN community, he said, pledging that
China will support ASEAN to play a leading role in the regional cooperation of
Southeast Asia.
Widodo
welcomed Xi to attend the Asian-African summit and the 60th anniversary of the
Bandung Conference in Indonesia.
He said
Indonesia hopes to expand cooperation with China in various fields and is
willing to discuss the opportunities for cooperation brought by China's
"21st Century Maritime Silk Road" initiative and Indonesia's new
development strategy.
The
Asian-African leaders' meeting opened here Wednesday with the aim of carrying
on the Bandung Spirit and promoting common development of the two vibrant
continents.
Xi arrived
in Indonesia late Tuesday for the summit and commemorative activities for the
historic 1955 Bandung Conference.
