On July 28, 2005, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao of the State Council met with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai.

Wen said that in recent years China-Indonesia relationship has maintained a sound momentum of development. The bilateral cooperation in politics, economy and health has been constantly expanded. During President Hu Jintao's visit to Indonesia in April this year, the two countries established the strategic partnership. Since then the bilateral relation has entered a new stage. It is the sincere wish of China to consolidate and develop the comprehensive cooperation with Indonesia. Indonesia and China are two major developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region and China is willing to live in harmony with Indonesia on a long-term basis, make joint progress, benefit the two peoples as well as make contribution to the regional prosperity and stability.

Wen said that China and Indonesia have carried out fruitful economic and trade cooperation. Over the past few years, both countries have identified a number of major cooperation areas based upon their own strength and launched some large-scale cooperation projects, which have promoted the economic and social development of both countries. It has been proved that China and Indonesia need each other economically and enjoy a broad future for further cooperation. It is hoped that both sides will further expand the cooperation in infrastructure construction, energy and resource exploitation and raise the level of economic and trade cooperation by increasing mutual investment.

Wen commented positively on China-ASEAN relations. He said that in recent years, China-ASEAN relations have witnessed quite rapid development. The two sides established the strategic partnership and formulated action plans to implement the partnership. Mutual trust and benefit is a major feature of current China-ASEAN relations. It is the long-term objective of both sides to realize regional stability and common prosperity. China is willing to make its contribution to the realization of this objective.

Wen expressed that the Chinese side appreciates the Indonesian government for adhering to the one-China policy. China will continue to support the Indonesian government on its efforts to maintain its solidarity and stability.

Susilo responded that Indonesia has established the strategic partnership with China. Both sides can constantly enrich this relationship by implementing action plans and concrete cooperation projects. He said that the Indonesian economic community holds great expectations on expanding the economic and trade exchanges with China. The Indonesian government also supports the Chinese enterprises to take an active part in the economic construction of Indonesia in various forms, especially strengthen the bilateral cooperation in such areas as infrastructure construction, energy and plantations. Susilo sang high praise for China's adherence to the friendly cooperation policy to ASEAN. He reiterated that the Indonesian government will unswervingly pursue the one-China policy.
