Strengthening comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two countries conforms with the common interests of both countries and is also conducive to regional and world peace, stability and prosperity, Xi said.
"I am willing to establish a good work relationship with you, jointly promote bilateral exchange and cooperation, push forward the establishment of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and promote continued achievement of new progress in the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership to realize mutual benefit, a win-win situation and common development," Xi added.
