The Indonesian Embassy in China recently held a business forum aimed at attracting Chinese entrepreneurs to expand investment and trade with Indonesia. The Indonesian Ambassador to China emphasized that bilateral cooperation is transitioning from "trade volume" to "high added value", focusing on green development, digitalization, health resilience, and food security.
Bilateral trade volume reached $147.79 billion in 2024, and $104.82 billion from January to August 2025. China is Indonesia's largest trading partner, mainly exporting palm oil, coal, refined nickel, and tropical fruits. In 2024, China's mainland investment in Indonesia reached $8.1 billion, and Hong Kong investment reached $8.2 billion; in the first half of 2025, China's mainland investment was $3.6 billion, and Hong Kong investment was $4.6 billion.
In 2024, Chinese tourists to Indonesia reached 1.2 million, and in the first eight months of 2025, they reached 905,000. The ambassador called on Chinese tourists to explore new destinations beyond Bali, such as Surakarta in Central Java and the Tanimbar Islands in Maluku. The two countries will strengthen local currency settlement cooperation and promote trade balance and sustainable development.
