Indonesia's Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry Rosan Roeslani said the country's commitment to a long-term partnership with China remains strong, according to Xinhua.
China is Indonesia's largest trading partner and a primary strategic driver, said Rosan.
The bilateral relationship has evolved from raw commodities to industrial integration, said Rosan, in areas such as mineral downstreaming and electric-vehicle battery supply chains.
The "Two countries, Twin parks" initiative is creating an integrated industrial ecosystem, said Rosan, connecting investment and manufacturing across both countries.
Indonesia is well-positioned for digital transition and AI industry development, with a large digital market and abundant renewable-energy potential, said Rosan, welcoming Chinese investors.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership has strengthened regional integration since entering into force in 2023, said Rosan, improving supply-chain connectivity and drawing firms into regional value chains.
The ASEAN-China Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade will deepen cooperation in areas such as the digital economy and green economy, said Rosan, attracting quality investment and lifting industrial competitiveness.
