70年巨大成就。今年是中印尼建交70周年。回顧70年曆程，中印尼關係取得巨大成就，雙方建立了全面戰略夥伴關係，中國成為印尼最大貿易夥伴、第二大外國直接投資來源國、第二大海外留學目的地國，最主要的外國遊客來源地之一。兩國友好關係和各領域廣泛深入的交流合作給兩國和兩國人民帶來實實在在的好處，也為地區和世界和平穩定發展繁榮作出積極貢獻。
疫情下逆勢而上。新冠肺炎疫情突如其來，給兩國和中印尼關係發展帶來嚴峻挑戰。「患難見真情」，中印尼守望相助、共克時艱，雙邊關係逆勢而上，兩國人民友誼在抗疫中持續深化。印尼是最早向中國提供抗疫物資援助的國家之一，中國也積極支援印尼抗擊疫情。當前，兩國企業正共同推進新冠疫苗研發、生產和技術轉移合作，相信印尼將成為最早使用疫苗的國家之一。
中印尼經貿合作在疫情下持續拓展，充分彰顯出兩國發展的高度互補性，兩國關係的強大生命力和巨大潛力。今年上半年，中國繼續成為印尼最大貿易夥伴和第二大投資來源國，兩國貿易額達355.3億美元，其中中國從印尼進口額同比增長9%。中國對印尼投資增長172%, 雅萬高鐵、「區域綜合經濟走廊」等戰略對接項目穩步推進。兩國建立人員往來「快捷通道」，逐步恢復直航，在確保防疫前提下便利人員往來，維護產業鏈供應鏈穩定暢通，助力彼此經濟復甦。
新起點上破浪前行。中印尼同為發展中大國、人口大國，都處在快速發展階段，在地區和世界的作用和影響不斷提升。互利共贏是中印尼關係的本質，相互尊重是中印尼合作的傳統。中印尼關係發展符合兩國和兩國人民根本利益。我們歡迎彼此同其他國家的友好交往與合作，但也警惕任何幹擾破壞中印尼友好的圖謀。我們願與印尼方一道，從兩國和兩國人民根本和長遠利益出發，排除外部幹擾，繼續堅定發展雙邊關係和互利共贏合作，維護兩國關係發展正確方向。
70年風雨兼程，70年春華秋實。面對百年未有之大變局，中印尼關係站在新的起點，迎來新的機遇，讓我們繼續攜起手來，共同打贏抗擊疫情和經濟復甦的攻堅戰，給兩國和兩國人民創造更多福祉，為地區和世界和平穩定和發展繁榮作出更大貢獻。
英文原文如下：
This year marks the 70th anniversary of China-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Looking back at the past 7 decades, our two countries have achieved tremendous growth in bilateral ties and established comprehensive strategic partnership. Now China is Indonesia's largest trading partner, second largest source of foreign direct investment(FDI), second largest host of Indonesian students and a major source of foreign tourists. Our friendly relations and deepening cooperation across all sectors are bringing benefits to our two countries and peoples and contributing to regional and global stability and prosperity.
Continuous Growth Despite Covid-19. The sudden outbreak of Covid-19 poses a formidable challenge to China and Indonesia as well as our bilateral ties. Yet true friendship stands out in difficult times. In face of the outbreak, we have rendered each other support and pulled together to overcome the most difficult time. We have further deepened bilateral ties despite Covid-19 and strengthened friendship in the fight against the epidemic. Indonesia was among the first countries to dispatch medical supplies to China and has received active support from China in its own fight against the virus. As of now, enterprises from both countries are pushing ahead cooperation on vaccine R&D, production and technological transfer, which I believe will make Indonesia among the first countries to gain access to vaccine.
Undeterred by the epidemic, two-way trade between China and Indonesia have achieved continuous growth, which is a testament to the strong complementarities in our respective development as well as the strength and potential of bilateral ties. In the first half of 2020, China remains as Indonesia's largest trading partner and second largest investor with trade volume reaching 35.53 billion US dollars. China's import from Indonesia has increased by 9% and investment to Indonesia grew by 172%. Signature cooperation projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Corridors are making steady progress. China and Indonesia have launched "fast lane" arrangement and gradually resumed direct flights with necessary control measures in place, all in an effort to facilitate two-way travels and maintain stable industrial and supply chains to support each other's economic recovery.
Growing Relations at New Starting Point. Both China and Indonesia are major developing countries with large population and enjoy rapid economic growth and increasingly important roles in the region and beyond. China-Indonesia relations are mutually-beneficial and win-win in nature and mutual respect is an honored tradition in bilateral cooperation. The development of China-Indonesia ties serves the fundamental interests of both countries and peoples. We welcome both countries to respectively engage in friendly exchanges and cooperation with other countries. Nonetheless, we shall guard against any attempt to interfere or undermine the friendship between China and Indonesia. We are ready to work with the Indonesian side to act upon the fundamental and long-term interest of our two countries and peoples and resist external interference and stay steadily on the right course to continue develop ties and win-win cooperation.
The past 70 years have been a journey of both challenges and productive cooperation. As the world today is confronted with profound changes of a kind unseen in a century, China-Indonesia relations have come to a new starting point endowed with new opportunities. Let us continue to stand in solidarity against Covid-19 and work together to recover our economy, so as to bring more benefits to our two countries and peoples and make greater contribution to the peace, stability and prosperity in our region and beyond.
