Vice Governor Chen Chunjiang said that Shaanxi and Indonesia span mountains and seas, but the people of the two places are connected, trade is smooth, personnel exchanges are frequent, and economic and trade cooperation is close. The trade volume between Shaanxi and Indonesia in 2023 is US$1.219 billion, and the turnover of contracted projects in Indonesia is US$19.06 million. As of 2023, the cumulative investment in Indonesia is US$10.38 million, mainly in mining, construction, wholesale and retail industries.
In recent years, Shaanxi and Indonesia have continued to expand areas of cooperation and deepen economic and trade exchanges through the exchange platform of the Silk Road Expo. This year, the 8th Silk Road Expo will be held in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Indonesia is sincerely invited to participate in the exhibition as the guest country of the Silk Road Expo. Entrepreneurs are sincerely invited to participate in the exhibition to showcase Indonesia's characteristic products and advantageous industries, and to carry out trade and investment. Promote activities and discover new business opportunities and seek new cooperation through the Silk Road Expo. At the same time, I hope that Indonesian entrepreneur friends will travel more, communicate more, and communicate more with Shaanxi to further understand the history, culture and natural scenery of Shaanxi, experience the hospitality of the people of Shaanxi, feel the good business environment of Shaanxi, and "invest in China, choose Shaanxi" to create a better future.

Zhou Kan, the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, said that China and Indonesia have long supported and cooperated with each other on the road to promoting development and revitalization. More than 2,000 years ago, the people of China and Indonesia overcame the barrier of the sea and opened the door to communication. The Maritime Silk Road closely connected the two countries and built a bridge of commerce, trade and people-to-people exchanges. In 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" initiative in Indonesia for the first time, which resonates with Indonesia's dream of becoming a "maritime power".
In recent years, relations between the two countries have continued to deepen, forming a new "four-wheel drive" bilateral cooperation pattern of political, economic, cultural, and maritime cooperation. During the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held last year, President Xi Jinping and President Joko Widodo reached an important consensus on further deepening the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership, opening a new chapter for the two countries to jointly build a community with a shared future. China has been Indonesia's largest trading partner for 11 consecutive years and has been Indonesia's top three sources of foreign investment for 8 consecutive years. In 2023, the trade volume between the two countries will reach US$139.4 billion, and China's investment in Indonesia will reach US$7.4 billion. Bilateral cooperation in various fields is flourishing and fruitful.
In recent years, with the further deepening and expansion of opening up to the outside world, Shaanxi has also accelerated its opening to the east, opening up a new channel for economic and trade cooperation between Shaanxi and Indonesia. I believe that as China and Indonesia each maintain good development and China-Indonesia relations and cooperation in various fields continue to improve, the cooperation between Shaanxi and Indonesia will definitely have broad prospects and great potential, not only injecting new strong impetus into the overall exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, but also bring more tangible benefits and well-being to the Chinese people. To this end, I sincerely hope that the entrepreneur friends here will take advantage of this economic and trade cooperation promotion conference to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, seek more business opportunities, and achieve win-win, multi-win, and win-win situations. Finally, I wish this promotion meeting a complete success!
