Hu said Chinese-Indonesian relations had developed favorably this year.

At the start of the year, the two sides signed an action plan for strategic partnership, while cooperation in the sectors of economy and trade, culture and education had witnessed smooth development.

The two sides also reached an important consensus on deepening defense cooperation and maintained good coordination and cooperation on international and regional affairs within the framework of the United Nations and G20, Hu said.

Hu said China attached much importance to boosting strategic partnership with Indonesia.

The Chinese side proposed the two sides maintain high level exchanges, welcoming Susilo to visit China to attend the Shanghai World Expo and the expo between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Hu said.

China was also willing to enlarge investment in Indonesia and supported Chinese companies to take part in major projects of Indonesia's infrastructure building, he said.

The two sides would work together to hold activities marking the Chinese-Indonesian friendly year to strengthen the traditional friendship between the two peoples, Hu said.

He said the two countries should also enhance coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs in a bid to set up more justice and reasonable international political and economic orders.

On China's relations with ASEAN, Hu said China was ready to see a more united, stable and prosperous ASEAN and would continue to support its efforts towards integration and its leading role in east Asia cooperation.
