Beijing, Sept 17, 2026 — China foreign minister Wang Yi met Indonesian National Economic Committee chair Luhut. Wang said bilateral cooperation has a solid base and new prospects and called for aligning development strategies to upgrade cooperation. China offered to extend ties from traditional areas—energy/minerals, infrastructure, industrial parks—into emerging sectors including artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals and information technology, and to strengthen education exchanges and talent training. Wang said President Prabowo’s decision for Indonesia to join the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization was a wise choice and that China will work with Indonesia to promote responsible, inclusive AI. China said it would help Indonesia boost autonomous development capacity and accelerate modernization, and urged Jakarta to provide a stable, supportive policy environment and strong policy backing for long-term Chinese business operations in Indonesia.
