Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi on July 30 in Bangkok. Both have vowed to improve high-level exchanges between the two countries.

Wang said China attaches importance to Indonesia's global status and the two countries, as friendly neighbors, have broad prospects for cooperation on the sidelines of the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting and other related meetings in the Thai capital city.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reached new consensus with Indonesian President Joko Widodo at the Group of 20 (G20) Osaka Summit, Wang said. "We are willing to work with Indonesia in preparation for high-level exchanges of the two countries in the next phase and bring the bilateral cooperation to a new level."

China will work with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations including Indonesia to strengthen cooperation at the meetings, as united and focused as one on Asia including East Asia, for regional prosperity and stability, Wang said.

Retno said Indonesia will work with China for closer high-level exchanges, stronger political mutual trust and improved bilateral relations. "President Joko looks forward to visiting China and attending the second China International Import Expo."
