I received the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the People's Republic of China, H.E. Djauhari Oratmangun, to discuss a number of strategic issues, such as accelerating food self-sufficiency, modernizing the Indonesian National Armed Forces' defense systems, and developing the national defense pharmaceutical industry (Wednesday, May 28, 2025).

We also discussed the readiness to send Indonesian Air Force pilots to China for J-10 fighter jet training and the evaluation of defense production facilities. In the health sector, we also discussed a modern hospital project resulting from Indonesia–China cooperation.

Close bilateral relations must continue to be supported by concrete cooperation and intensive communication. My sincere thanks to the Ambassador for his outstanding support in helping accelerate many of our key national agendas.
