- China and Indonesia ministers met for bilateral talks covering security and economic issues, with the agenda including the South China Sea, defence, and investment according to coverage of the meeting.
- Indonesia's foreign minister said the country aims to revitalise trade, mineral, and energy ties with China, framing the meeting as a push to deepen economic cooperation between the two nations.
Why it matters: Indonesia sits on key South China Sea territory and is a major source of minerals critical to China's supply chains, making bilateral alignment on defence and resource trade a material lever for both economies' industrial and security strategies.
