Lian Jiehao said, first of all, on behalf of all my colleagues in Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome and sincere greetings to all of you.
China has been Indonesia's largest international trading partner for many years in a row. In 2022, the bilateral trade volume will reach US$141 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.8%. This figure is very impressive and a record high. At the same time, with the launch of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RECP), Chinese companies are very optimistic about Indonesia's market capacity and Indonesia's business environment, and they have come to settle and invest one after another. In 2022, China has become Indonesia's second largest source of foreign investment. With the gradual recovery of international business and travel exchanges, we believe that the bilateral economic and trade cooperation will also return to the busy past.
Today, Vice President Chen Hongliang personally led a delegation to visit. I believe he is also optimistic about the Indonesian market. We welcome the Chinese government and enterprises to visit Indonesia more often, learn more about the market, invest in Indonesia, build factories, and expand overseas markets. Whether it is technology, the Internet, or commerce, we all hope that our future cooperation will be open and mutually beneficial. Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association will also actively do a good job in the service of the Chamber of Commerce and provide necessary consultation and related services for Chinese companies to come to Indonesia. help. Finally, I wish you a fruitful trip to Indonesia, a fruitful return, good health, and a happy family.
Chen Hongliang briefly pointed out that the Hainan Provincial Council for the Promotion of International Trade was established in 1990. It is the official international trade and investment promotion agency of Hainan Province and plays a role as a link between the government and enterprises. The main job functions include international liaison, trade investment and promotion, commercial legal services, etc. In 2017, the Hainan Liaison Office of the China-ASEAN Business Council was established. Over the years, the Liaison Office has played an important role in promoting economic and trade exchanges and cooperation between Hainan and ASEAN countries and serving the bilateral cooperation mechanism.
Hainan is building and will speed up the creation of "two headquarters bases", that is, the headquarters base for Chinese enterprises entering Southeast Asia and the headquarters base for Southeast Asian enterprises entering the Chinese market, attracting more and more business entities focusing on headquarters enterprises to settle in Hainan. For example, the Huochuan Group in Indonesia exploited the Chinese market by utilizing the 30% processing value-added policy of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the "two headquarters bases" policy introduced above. I hope that all business representatives here will pay attention to the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.
This year, the 2023 East Asia Business Forum co-sponsored by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the People’s Government of Hainan Province and the East Asia Business Council will be held in Haikou. Multilateral communication platform. In addition, our association will also hold China (Hainan) International Golf Tourism Culture Expo and International Business Peak Golf Invitational Tournament, China International Creative Design Promotion Week, China (Hainan) International Ocean Industry Expo, World Jewelry Conference and Jewelry Exhibition, etc. International economic and trade exchange activities.
We sincerely invite all the representatives of Chinese businessmen here to come to Hainan to participate in relevant exhibitions, forums, visits and investigations, and through you to invite more friends from the Indonesian business community to find business opportunities and share new opportunities for the development of Hainan Free Trade Port. We are willing to give full play to our functions and build more exchange and cooperation platforms and provide more thoughtful services for Indonesian businessmen, especially Indonesian Chinese businessmen who come to Hainan to carry out various business activities such as trade, investment and inspection. After the exchange meeting, the leaders of both sides presented souvenirs to each other and took a group photo.
