On June 7th, Wang Ning, Governor of Fujian Province, China attended a meeting via video link at Fuzhou with  Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Indonesia's Coordinator for Cooperation with China and Coordinating Minister, who was attending the inaugural meeting of the China-Indonesia high-level dialogue cooperation mechanism in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China, for the consultation on accelerating the project of China-Indonesia Cooperation on the "Two Countries, Twin Parks". The Vice Governor of Fujian Province, Guo Ningning, the Secretary-General of Fujian Provincial People’s Government, and heads of other relevant provincial departments, as well as relevant leaders from Indonesia’s ministries for SOEs, health, investment, finance, infrastructure and transportation, also attended the event.

Wang Ning expressed that, in a recent phone call with President Joko Widodo, President Xi Jinping proposed important points for key projects like the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" Cooperation, showing the direction for Fujian Province’s further cooperation with Indonesia. Wang Ning hopes that, through this meeting, the two sides can further utilize their comparative advantages in fields of geographic positions, resources and industries, and so on, continuously improve the mechanism of coordination, raise the compatibility in organizational structures, speed up the building of the trade platform and jointly better prepare for the first Global Invest Promotion Conference. With these efforts, a cooperation mechanism with inter-related industries, interconnected infrastructures and reciprocal policies would be fostered and the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" project would link industries of the two countries, adding new drive to the high-quality joint construction of the ‘Belt and Road’.

Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan expressed that the China-Indonesia high-level dialogue cooperation mechanism established two days before provides new support to the more fruitful collaboration between the two countries. Given the strong bonds and close exchanges between Indonesia and the Fujian Province, it is hoped that the two sides can deepen economic and trade relations, advance the Cooperation on the "Two Countries, Twin Parks", expand cooperation in fields, such as trade and investment, public health, aerospace and maritime affairs, increase cultural exchanges and actively participate in the Belt and Road Initiative.

During the meeting, Fuzhou reviewed the progress of the Fujian part of the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" project. In January, 2021, China’s Ministry of Commerce and Fujian Provincial People’s Government signed with the Indonesian side the Memorandum of Understanding on China-Indonesia Cooperation on the "Two Countries, Twin Parks", which designates Yuanhong Investment Zone in Fuqing, Fujian Province as the Chinese park, and the Bintan Industrial Estate, the Aviarna Industrial Estate and the Grand Batang City collectively as the Indonesian park. The MOU also includes development plans for key industries, including marine economy, food manufacturing, building materials, energy, aerospace maintenance and electronics. (Journalist: Lin Yuxi)
