In her speech, Shi Xiaolin stated that China and Indonesia are friendly neighbors facing each other across the sea and good friends with a shared future. In recent years, the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries has developed across the board, providing new opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between Sichuan and Indonesia. This partnership continues to deepen through high-level mutual visits, as well as joint efforts in fields such as economy and trade, education, science and technology, and healthcare. Indonesia boasts a rapidly expanding economy, a dynamic society, and vast potential as an emerging market. It is envisioned that, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, we will concentrate on fostering high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and expand our practical collaboration across a wider range of areas and to greater depths. It is hoped that we will further cultivate new drivers of economic and trade cooperation, identify areas of complementary economic strengths and high-growth potential sectors, advance market-oriented, mutually beneficial development, expand imports of Indonesian high-quality products such as fruits, seafood, and minerals, increase exports of Sichuan's competitive products like machinery, electronics, chemical products, specialty teas, and other unique agricultural produce, deepen cooperation in emerging fields, including lithium batteries, new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, low-altitude economy, aerospace, smart transportation and logistics, pharmaceutical health, and modern agriculture, and actively venture into emerging markets. We should further expand the accomplishments in cultural and tourism cooperation, strengthen the connectivity of tourism resources, promote market sharing and mutual tourist exchanges, jointly develop premium travel routes that highlight island destinations, sunshine tourism, and health retreats, and facilitate greater two-way visitor flows, allowing more travelers to experience the scenic beauty and cultural allure of both regions. Efforts will also focus on further expanding platforms for exchanges and communications, enhancing cooperation in diverse sectors, including science and technology and education, strengthening institutional partnerships between academic establishments, and delivering new achievements in friendship city collaborations. We sincerely invite friends from all walks of life in Indonesia to participate in major events in Sichuan, such as the Western China International Fair, the Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange, and the World Games 2025 Chengdu. We also welcome Indonesian enterprises to invest and thrive in Sichuan, sharing in the vast market and development opportunities.
