Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Chinese new government under the leadership of President Xi Jinping will not change its policy towards Indonesia but continue to maintain its strategic partnership cooperation with Jakarta, a Chinese envoy said.
"There is no change in the Chinese policy towards Indonesia. A number of conditions have made Indonesia's position important to China. China even wants stronger bilateral relations," Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Liu Jianchao told Antara on Thursday.
He said that Indonesia and China shared a common target in creating peace and prosperity in the Asian region in the coming ten years.
The Chinese envoy said that Indonesia and China had the same target to become a global economic strength.
Indonesia had set itself a target of becoming one of the big ten in the global economy in 2025 while China has targeted itself to grow as a new economy in 2020, the ambassador said. (IGT)
