Xi: Strengthen solidarity with Indonesia

The total trade volume in goods between the two nations reached 448.1 billion yuan ($66.28 billion) in the first half of this year, up 28.7 percent year-on-year. In the same period, Chinese imports from Indonesia, mostly commodities, surged 33 percent year-on-year, according to the General Administration of Customs.

Xi said that China is ready to continue expanding its imports from Indonesia, especially with regard to bulk commodities and high-quality agricultural produce.

China is willing to take an active part in the development of the new capital of Indonesia and the green industrial park in North Kalimantan province, and will strive to foster new growth engines in the digital economy and green development, he said.
