Jakarta, 7 May 2018
Your Excellency Vice President Jusuf Kalla,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to pay an official visit to Indonesia at the invitation of President Joko Widodo and to meet with business leaders of the two countries. On behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to express warm congratulations on the opening of the business summit. I would also like to pay tribute to all those who have long worked for the friendship and cooperation between China and Indonesia.
Indonesia is a developing country and an emerging market economy carrying significant weight in the world. With sustained fast growth at around 5% in recent years, Indonesia, the Emerald of the Equator, is shining ever more brightly.
中国高度重视发展同印尼的关系。2013年,习近平主席成功访问印尼,双方达成一系列重要共识,为两国关系发展规划了方向。我对印尼人民满怀感情,这次访问印尼,是我担任新一届中国国务院总理后首次出访的首站。
在两国各界人士共同努力下,中国同印尼的关系已驶入发展的快车道,经贸是两国合作中最活跃、最富有成果的领域。中国连续7年成为印尼第一大贸易伙伴,两国贸易平衡持续改善,今年一季度双边贸易额同比又增长28%。中国是印尼主要的外资来源国,去年对印尼投资增长30%以上,投资存量超过100亿美元。雅万高铁等一批标志性基础设施合作项目扎实推进。10年前我访问贵国时,曾考察两国合作建设的泗水-马都拉大桥工地,今天这座大桥已成为当地的“发展之桥”、“民生之桥”。两国人文交流日趋活跃,中国是印尼最大游客来源地,去年来印尼的中国游客突破200万人次。
China highly values its relations with Indonesia. During President Xi Jinping's visit to Indonesia in 2013, the two sides reached broad, important agreement and charted a course for the development of China-Indonesia relations. I consider myself a friend of the Indonesian people. I am glad to make this country the first stop of my first overseas visit in my new term as Chinese Premier.
With the joint efforts of both sides, our bilateral relations have embarked on a fast lane of growth. Business cooperation has been the most vibrant and productive component of overall relations. China has been Indonesia's biggest trading partner for seven years. Two-way trade registered a year-on-year growth of 28% in the first quarter of this year, and has been moving toward greater balance. China is also a major source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia. Chinese FDI rose more than 30% last year and investment stock exceeded 10 billion US dollars.
Solid progress is being made in flagship infrastructure projects, such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail. I'm glad to note that our joint project, the Surabaya-Madura Bridge, which I visited ten years ago when it was still under construction, has become a symbol of development and prosperity of the local people. The two countries have also enjoyed close people-to-people exchange. China is the biggest source of foreign visitors in Indonesia. Last year alone saw over two million visits by the Chinese to Indonesia.
