This event, titled "Synergy and Innovation for Indonesia's Economic Resilience and Revivals", was co-hosted by the Institute of Area Studies, the Office of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Institute of Social Science Survey at Peking University.

Destry Damayanti provided an overview of Indonesia's current economic growth, emphasizing its strength and promising future.

At the same time, she highlighted the resilience of bilateral trade between China and Indonesia, and expressed optimism for its continued growth.

"China-Indonesia bilateral relationship has never been stronger. China is Indonesia's largest trading partner and the second greatest contributor of foreign direct investment in 2023," she said.

Besides, China and Indonesia have carried out rich financial cooperation. "Local Currency Settlement cooperation between the two countries, initiated in 2020, continues to deepen," she added.
