Zhang Jinxiong said, first of all, on behalf of Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, I would like to extend my sincere greetings and welcome to Mr. Gu and everyone. In the past ten years or so, Indonesia and China have not only exchanged frequent high-level visits, but also have very close cooperation between enterprises and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. Indonesia is not only the country that initiated the concept of "One Belt One Road", but also the most important strategic partner country along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail as a symbolic national-level cooperation project, and the construction and development of a number of large-scale infrastructures in Indonesia are using actual results, showing the development potential of Indonesia and the good and close cooperation between the two countries.
China has been Indonesia's largest trading partner for many years in a row. In 2022, the bilateral trade volume between the two countries will reach US$149.09 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.8%, a record high. At the same time, the resilience of the Indonesian economy can also be reflected in the rapid rebound of the national economy after the epidemic. In 2022, the annual growth rate of Indonesia's GDP will reach 5.31%. In the global economic downturn, it has performed brilliantly and attracted a large amount of foreign investment. Among them, China ranked second with US$8.2 billion. Along with this, RECP officially came into effect for Indonesia at the beginning of this year, and it is believed that the cooperation and development prospects between Indonesia and China will be even broader in the future.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce sincerely welcomes enterprises in Shanghai and friends from Shanghai to come to Indonesia for a visit, to investigate and exchange, to invest and start a business. We will also actively provide comparative legal and regulatory consulting services for Shanghai enterprises to invest in Indonesia. I also hope that both of us can have more good ideas and good projects can reach cooperation. Finally, I wish everyone a successful and fruitful trip to Indonesia.
