China and Indonesia are both representatives of major developing countries and emerging markets. In the past, the two countries always supported each other in the pursuit of national independence and national development. In the future, both countries should also unite in good faith to set an example of mutual benefit and win-win results, a model of common development, and a pacesetter for South-South cooperation. Both sides should firmly follow the development path suited to their own national conditions, firmly support each other in safeguarding sovereignty, security and development interests, and understand and support each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns. China is ready to maintain close exchanges with Indonesia, share experience on state governance, strengthen synergy of development strategies, further advance the projects of the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" and the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Corridor", and continue to deepen maritime cooperation.

Both sides should actively practice the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, vigorously carry forward the Bandung Spirit of solidarity, friendship and cooperation, promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, strengthen multilateral cooperation, and safeguard the common interests of developing countries. China is ready to work with Indonesia to uphold ASEAN unity and centrality, maintain an open and inclusive regional architecture, and build an even closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.
