Li expressed willingness to strengthen political dialogues and communication regarding regional and international affairs on the basis of mutual respect and benefit.

He said China is also ready to expand bilateral cooperation in defense, security and other areas to boost the development of the country's strategic partnership with Indonesia.

He said China is ready to work with Indonesia and other parties to maintain peace and stability in the region and the world at large.

Purnomo said Sino-Indonesian relations enjoy a solid foundation and broad prospects. He expressed willingness to further deepen cooperation between the two countries in order to realize "win-win development".

Indonesia has great potential in bilateral trade with China, especially after the establishment of ASEAN-China Free Trade Area in 2010, said Luo Yongkun, a researcher with the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.

"China-Indonesia trade is supposed to top China's trade with ASEAN countries, but is currently far behind China-Malaysia trade volume," he said.

"Besides, China and Indonesia, as developing countries, share similar political demands, including a new world economic order and global multi-polarization," Luo said, adding that both sides could play constructive roles on regional and worldwide issues through cooperation.
