Indonesia-China Deepen Regional Economic Ties

Published on 5.26.25

  Indonesia and China have strengthened their maritime cooperation in the South China Sea region, with a focus on maintaining regional peace and stability. Indonesian President Prabowo has emphasized the long-term strategic partnership between Indonesia and China, which benefits not only the two countries but also the wider Asian region. In line with this commitment to cooperation, Indonesia and China have signed agreements on tourism, agricultural exports, traditional medicine, investment, strategic commerce, and media cooperation. These agreements demonstrate a mutual interest in strengthening economic ties and promoting regional stability. Indonesian President Prabowo has specifically invited Chinese entrepreneurs to invest in Indonesia's natural resources and science and technology sectors. The acceleration of consultations on the South China Sea Code of Conduct is also a key aspect of this strengthened maritime cooperation. This development suggests that both countries are committed to resolving disputes through diplomatic means, rather than resorting to military action. The agreement reflects a shared interest in maintaining regional peace and stability, which is essential for promoting economic growth and development. The strengthening of Indonesia-China relations has significant implications for the wider region. As one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's partnership with China can help promote economic integration and cooperation among regional countries. This, in turn, can contribute to a more stable and prosperous South China Sea region.
