President Prabowo Appreciates China For Actively Supporting Developing Countries

JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto expressed his respect and appreciation to China for its active role in supporting developing countries, including Indonesia.

This was conveyed in his remarks before the Prime Minister of China, Li Qiang, and business actors of the two countries on the Indonesia-China Business Reception agenda in Jakarta, Saturday, May 24.

"I would like to express my respect to the People's Republic of China for consistently defending the interests of countries that are building, the developing countries, consistently fighting oppression, fighting imperialism, fighting colonialism, against apartheid," he said, quoted by Antara.

In his statement, President Prabowo emphasized that cooperation between Indonesia and China should not only be limited to the economic aspect, but also includes deeper friendship and cross-sectoral collaboration.

On that occasion, the Head of State invited China to continue to strengthen relations in various strategic fields.

President Prabowo also praised China's consistency in supporting the struggle of oppressed countries, not only when China was still in a building stage and not as strong as it is now economically.

According to the President, this is a form of global solidarity that should be appreciated and used as the foundation in building a partnership that is just in the future.
