Indonesian Trade Minister: has become the largest trading partner to Indonesia
Hassan said in a written statement that China is very important to Indonesia because China has become Indonesia's second largest investor and largest trading partner. It is hoped that the two sides can continue to strengthen cooperation and promote the progress of the two countries. He added that President Joko Widodo appreciated the investment and contribution of Chinese entrepreneurs to Indonesia's development at the forum. In 2013, China ranked 12th among sources of foreign direct investment in Indonesia, but by 2022 it had jumped to second place. President Joko Widodo believes that in the next year or two, Chinese investment in Indonesia will continue to increase and eventually become the largest source of foreign direct investment.
