Among them, Indonesia has the largest population and economic size, accounting for about 40% of the entire ASEAN. Indonesia's GDP growth rate reached 5.3% last year. Although the international economic situation is complex and volatile and uncertainty continues to increase, Indonesia's economy still shows strong resilience. In the just-released economic data of ASEAN countries for the first half of this year, Indonesia continues to lead ASEAN countries with a total GDP of US$680.4 billion, a growth rate of 5.08%.
 
Indonesia also has a very good demographic structure, with the median age being less than 30 years old, a huge demographic dividend, and an abundant labor force of young adults, which provides sufficient human resources and development potential for Indonesia's future economic development. Along with the steady growth of the economy, the Indonesian government is also constantly optimizing and improving service levels to provide investors with "one-stop" convenient services. The "Comprehensive Employment Law" launched by the Indonesian government in 2020 has opened up more fields for foreign investment and lowered the entry threshold, allowing more excellent companies with advanced technology and management experience to join Indonesia's economic construction.
 
Indonesia has always attached great importance to economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges with China. Today, the relationship between the two countries is at its best period in history, with fruitful cooperation in various fields and close trade and investment relations. Last year, the total trade volume between the two countries reached US$139.4 billion, and China has been Indonesia's largest trading partner for 11 consecutive years. In 2023, mainland China's direct investment in Indonesia reached US$7.4 billion, continuing to remain Indonesia's second largest source of foreign investment. These investments not only promote Indonesia's economic development and create local employment in Indonesia, but also provide Chinese companies with vast overseas markets and opportunities.

We hope that today’s exchange will spark new sparks for cooperation between Shanghai and Indonesia and bring more opportunities and development space to both countries. Finally, I wish the delegation a successful and fruitful trip to Indonesia.
