On 26 August 2015, ASEAN-China Centre (ACC) Secretary-General H.E. Mme. Yang Xiuping met with Indonesia’s Deputy Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs H.E. Mr. Edy Putra Irawady, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Secretary-General Yang Xiuping introduced the mandates and historical background of the establishment of ACC. She added that as the first and fourth largest country in the world in terms of population, the economies of Indonesia and China were highly complementary to each other, thus, the potential for enhanced cooperation in various fields was huge.
In 2014, the bilateral trade between Indonesia and China was worth up to USD 63.58 billion, while the number of two-way exchange visits reached 1.52 million. These figures reflected that there could be some rooms for improvement. ACC has been committed to actively implement all consensus reached by the leaders, enhance communication and cooperation with Indonesia and other ASEAN Member States to bring ASEAN-China regional economic, trade and cultural exchanges to a new level.
Deputy Coordinating Minister Irawady praised ACC’s achievements in promoting cooperation in the areas of trade, investment education, culture and tourism. He also expressed that, as the largest economy in ASEAN, trade and industry had contributed significantly to Indonesia’s national economy. Indonesia would continue to actively participate in the activities organized by ACC, and hoped that ACC could leverage its role as an inter-governmental international organization to bridge the interests of ASEAN and China, explore new ways to further cooperation, and promote a "win-win" regional economic development between ASEAN and China.
