Beijing, July 9th—Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee (IDCPC), met here today with Megawati Sukarnoputri, Head of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and former Indonesian President. 

Liu said, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Indonesia. Your father, President Sukarno, and the older generation of Chinese leaders were the founders of the friendly relations between China and Indonesia. You are also a witness and promoter of the deep friendship between China and Indonesia. We are here today to warmly welcome you and express our respect for the historic contributions made by you and President Sukarno to the development of China-Indonesia relations. The Bandung Conference successfully held under the promotion of the older generation of leaders of the two countries opened a new chapter of unity and cooperation among China, Indonesia and other developing countries. Indonesia is one of the priorities of China's diplomacy. China is willing to work with Indonesia to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, carry forward the traditional friendship, deepen strategic cooperation, jointly promote the Bandung Spirit in the new era, build a China-Indonesia community with a shared future with regional and global influence, and make the international order more just and equitable. 

Liu said, the CPC and the PDI-P share similar development concepts and common goals. In today's world fraught with turmoil and changes, profound changes unseen in a century are accelerating. The CPC is willing to establish a political dialogue mechanism with the PDI-P, deepen exchanges of experience in party building and state governance, explore ways to promote the development of respective countries and improve global governance, jointly maintain peace and stability in Asia, promote regional development and prosperity, and expand the international voice of developing countries. Liu also introduced CPC's party building since the 18th CPC National Congress. 

Megawati fondly recalled the friendly exchanges between her father, President Sukarno, and China, as well as her own friendly exchanges with the country, saying that every time she comes to China, it feels like coming to a "second home". This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Bandung Conference. Indonesia is willing to work with China to vigorously carry forward the Bandung Spirit, promote unity and cooperation among developing countries, and jointly address global risks and challenges such as financial stability, climate change, and food security. General Secretary Xi Jinping's "two centenary goals" led China to the historic achievement of eradicating absolute poverty, effectively safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods. The PDI-P values the deep friendship with the CPC and is willing to deepen exchanges between the two Parties, learn from the CPC's experiences in medium- and long-term national planning, rural revitalization, youth development, and addressing population aging, and promote practical cooperation in relevant fields between the two countries to better benefit the two peoples. 

On the same day, the IDCPC held an event called "seeing how mom and dad work", inviting the children of some of its staff members to visit the IDCPC and communicate with the Indonesian guests. Megawati warmly shook hands and interacted with the children one by one. The atmosphere was lively and warm, sowing the seeds of hope for the future of China-Indonesia friendship.
