President Jokowi was received by President Xi Jinping in the People's Great Hall of China where the two heads of state held a bilateral meeting to discuss the developments of their bilateral cooperation and regional issues.
The Indonesia-China relations have been running for about 65 years amid the up-and-down of their ties due to global conditions.
Indonesia and China later established a strategy partnership through an agreement signed by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyhono and Chinese President Hu Jintao on April 25, 2005.
Both countries agreed to raise their strategic partnership agreement to comprehensive partnership agreement when President Xi Jinping visited Indonesia in October 2013.
President Jokowi is also scheduled to meet with US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Sizho Abe.
Besides introducing himself as Indonesia's new president, Jokowi will also discuss the developments of relations and cooperation with China, the United States and Russia. Indonesia is their strategic partner.
Jokowi will later attend the APEC summit with 20 other leaders. (WDY)
