JAKARTA - Chairman of the House of Representatives' Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) Dr. Fadli Zon received a visit from the Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia, His Excellency Lu Kang, at the Fadli Zon Library, Jakarta. The meeting was a continuation of the first meeting between the two some time ago.

On this occasion, the two discussed the follow-up to the plan to increase bilateral relations between the Indonesian House of Representatives and the Chinese Parliament. During his visit, Ambassador Lu Kang also had the opportunity to see the Fadli Zon Library collection of historical objects belonging to Indonesian national figures, ancient books, heirlooms in the form of keris and spears, as well as art objects such as paintings and statues which are entirely private collections of BKSAP Chairs. From a number of archaeological artifacts at the Fadli Zon Library, it was proven that the relationship between China and Nusantara has lasted hundreds of years or even thousands of years ago. The increase in bilateral relations between the DPR RI and the Chinese parliament itself, is part of the task of the BKSAP DPR RI as the executor of parliamentary diplomacy, in accordance with what has been mandated by law. So far, the BKSAP DPR RI has formed 102 bilateral cooperation groups between the DPR RI and the parliament of friendly countries in the context of strengthening state diplomacy. Both the DPR RI and the Chinese parliament play an active role in regional parliamentary forums such as the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF), as well as the World Parliamentary organization, Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). The Chinese Parliament is also a review of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) parliamentary organization.

Fadli Zon said that as a country that adheres to active free foreign politics, it is only natural that Indonesia develops bilateral relations with China. Indonesia and China have collaborated in various fields at the executive level. In my opinion, the Indonesian House of Representatives also needs to strengthen bilateral relations with the Chinese parliament in order to strengthen the country's diplomacy. In principle, Indonesia opens communication and establishes good relations with anyone, based on mutual respect and respect. This was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party. Ambassador Lu Kang really appreciates the collection of books, magazines, manuscripts, numerics, filateli and a number of rare collections of Nusantara civilization journeys that are stored in Fadli Zon Library.
