The success of Chinese enterprises in Indonesia is also a success for Indonesia, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday, highlighting the mutually beneficial nature of China-Indonesia cooperation.

According to reports, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto thanked Chinese investors for the partnership and trust, and emphasized that the Indonesian government considers those who trust Indonesia and those who dare to collaborate in new areas with Indonesia as brothers and sisters.
China appreciates the remarks made by the Indonesian leadership, Mao told the conference.
"Over the years, China and Indonesia have deepened mutually beneficial cooperation in energy, mining and other areas by drawing on each other's strengths, which have brought tangible benefits to our two countries and peoples," she said, adding that the success of Chinese enterprises in Indonesia is Indonesia's success too.
Following the strategic consensus of the two presidents, China will work with Indonesia and continue to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in relevant fields so as to better support Indonesia in transforming its resource advantages into momentum for development and contribute to Indonesia's prosperity, according to Mao.
She also expressed confidence that the Indonesian government would continue to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and provide an open, fair, transparent and friendly business environment.
