Premier Wen Jiabao said Tuesday afternoon that China and Indonesia should jointly make unremitting efforts to help maintain stability and prosperity in East Asia.
Wen made the remark while meeting visiting Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Political, Law and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto in Beijing.
Suyanto is in Beijing for the third meeting of the bilateral dialogue mechanism at deputy prime ministerial level. On Tuesday morning, Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Suyanto co-chaired the meeting.
Wen said the meeting had achieved important results by advancing the implementation of consensus reached by leaders of the two countries. He said the meeting had helped lay a solid foundation for further development of bilateral relations.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the meeting is designed for the two sides to exchange views on bilateral ties and international relations as well as regional issues.
Wen said in face of grim challenges that the international financial crisis posed to East Asia, China and Indonesia should strengthen communication and coordination, expand mutually beneficial cooperation and make unremitting efforts to safeguard common interests and maintain stability and prosperity in East Asia.
Suyanto said the two countries enjoy good relations and great potential for bilateral cooperation. He said Indonesia highly appreciates and heeds the important role that China plays in regional and international affairs. He expressed the readiness to deepen all-round cooperation and the strategic partnership between the two countries so as to bring more benefit to the people.
He said Indonesia is willing to work with China to make greater contribution to peace, stability and prosperity in East Asia.
China and Indonesia launched the deputy-prime-minister-level dialogue mechanism in 2005. The last two meetings convened respectively in Beijing and Jakarta.
