Both as major developing countries and important members of the Global South, cooperation between China and Indonesia carries strategic significance and global influence, he said.

For his part, Prabowo, on behalf of the Indonesian government and people, extended sincere congratulations to Xi and the Chinese people on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of China-Indonesia diplomatic ties.
Indonesia and China enjoy a time-honored friendship and a strong and dynamic partnership and have made rapid progress in bilateral cooperation in the "five pillars" of politics, economy, people-to-people and cultural exchange, maritime affairs, and security, he said.
Prabowo expressed the hope that both sides will continue to deepen cooperation and cement the friendship between the two peoples so as to make positive contributions to world peace and stability.
