Both sides expressed satisfaction with the ever-enriching connotation of the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership, and pledged to follow the important consensuses reached between the two leaders of state, and to deepen practical cooperation between the two countries in various areas in order to build a China-Indonesia community with a shared future.

The two sides exchanged views on the 2022 Group of 20 G 20 Bali Summit.

As a way to bring hope to a global recovery, Wang called for major developed countries and emerging economies to take the summit because of the negative effects of the Ukraine crisis and the grave risk of a global economic recession.

Wang said that China expects Indonesia to exercise leadership during its G 20 presidency, to encourage all parties to center on the original aspiration of the G20, to put development front and center, and to prompt the summit participants to reach consensus on pressing issues such as food, climate, energy, and supply chains.

He said that China fully supports Indonesia in hosting the summit and stands ready to coordinate closely with Indonesia to push for positive outcomes of the summit.

The two sides also exchanged views on the Myanmar issue.

Wang said that China supports Indonesia in taking over the rotating presidency of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN and supports sticking to the ASEAN way, maintaining ASEAN solidarity, and encouraging different parties in Myanmar to carry out consultation and dialogue in order to reach a political consensus within the framework of Myanmar's own constitution and laws.
