[Indonesian President Plabovo visit]
One month ago, Indonesia announced three times to expel the so -called "entering controversial waters" Chinese maritime ships. Some external public opinion took the opportunity to hype the tension in Indonesias relations.However, the joint statement undoubtedly broke the decline of the outside worlds relationship with China and Indonesia.
It is worth pointing out that the dispute between China and Indonesia is not a sovereign dispute.The North Lada exclusive economic zone has overlap with the "nine -segment line" of China.
The reason why Indonesia adopts a tough position in the sea area of Naita is mainly because the area has rich fossil energy sources. Minister of National Development Planning of the Indonesian government in December last year said that the sea area was found to be as high as 2.22 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves. In other words, Indonesia and Chinese territory, and even the Philippines that the United States in the South China Sea in the South China Sea is essentially different.
In this context, China and Indonesia decided to promote "joint development" in the overlapping area.Bringing substantial interests can be described as a win -win situation.
In fact, China and Indonesias strategic cooperation potential in many ways is huge. China is Indonesias largest trading partner and main source of investment. Indonesia is the largest market in ASEAN, with rich resources and economic strength.Important strategic position.

It is reported that The two parties reached a cooperation agreement worth over 10 billion US dollars on the China -Indonesian Industry and Commerce Forum on the 10th New energy, technology, biotechnology and other fields.This visit not only brought new development opportunities to Indonesia, but also marked that China -Indonesia relations have risen to a new height.
In addition to economic cooperation, China and Indonesia have made important progress in defense and security in the South China Sea.According to a joint statement, China will cooperate with Indonesias promotion of marine police mechanism and reiterate the comprehensive implementation of the "Declaration of the South China Sea" and commit to formulating the South China Sea Conduct as soon as possible.
This agreement not only reduces the risk of friction in the South China Sea.Essence Let it see that China is different from the U.S. hegemony of regional affairs, and adheres to the attitude of cooperation to solve disputes.

It can be said that it broke the US interference intention in advance.
In short, the visit of Plabovo has pushed Indonesia and China to a new stage.However, in the current complex and changing international environment, we should also be vigilant and be prepared to cope with the changes in accidents.
