BEIJING/JAKARTA (Bloomberg): China and Indonesia held their first meeting of senior ministers under a format agreed to last year, a sitdown that coincides with Beijing’s push to woo Asian nations and offset trade tensions with the US.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a briefing in Beijing after the talks Monday that the international landscape faced the "severe impact of unilateralism and hegemonism,” adding that "the more complex and volatile the external environment is, the more significant for China and Indonesia to pursue solidarity and cooperation.”
