Li arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to attend the three-day summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and meet with Indonesian leaders.President Joko Widodo hosted Li at the colonial-style Merdeka palace in Jakarta on Friday and discussed ways to expand trade and investment. He sought China's help in plans to move Indonesia's capital from congested and polluted Jakarta on the main island of Java to Nusantara on Borneo island.
Marsudi said Widodo asked China, Indonesia's largest trade and investment partner, to "realize these commitments immediately" and urged it to explore investment in other sectors, such as maritime and fisheries. On Wednesday, Li took a test ride on Indonesia's new US$7.3 billion high-speed rail line, which was funded largely with Chinese loans. It connects Jakarta and Bandung, the heavily populated capital of West Java province, and is part of China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative.
