On December 12, the grand unveiling ceremony of the Indonesia Investment Service Center and the China-Indonesia Twin Parks Baiyun Airport Consultation Station was held in the International Departure Hall of Terminal 2 at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. Distinguished guests, including the Consul General of the Indonesian Consulate in Guangzhou, leaders from the Guangdong Provincial Government Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the Guangdong Provincial Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the Guangzhou Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the Baiyun Airport First Terminal Management Division, Guangdong Guangwu Holding Group Co., Ltd./Huashang International Development Co., Ltd., and other key stakeholders, gathered to witness this historically significant milestone.
With the deepening of economic globalization, cooperation between China and Indonesia in trade, investment, and other fields has become increasingly close. The establishment of this consultation station aims to further promote such collaboration. Acting as a bridge, the platform will provide more convenient and efficient consultation services for enterprises in both countries, helping to achieve deeper development in investment, trade, and cultural exchanges.
As the first consultation station of a “Belt and Road” country at Baiyun Airport, and a shining representation of Indonesia in Guangzhou, the establishment of this consultation station not only builds a more convenient bridge for bilateral trade exchanges but also injects new vitality and hope into the future development of China-Indonesia relations.
A New Milestone in China-Indonesia Relations, Creating Business Opportunities
At the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Ben Perkasa Drajat, Consul General of the Indonesian Consulate in Guangzhou, emphasized in his speech that the establishment of the Indonesia Investment Service Center and the China-Indonesia Twin Parks Baiyun Airport Consultation Station represents another important step forward in investment cooperation between the two countries. He noted that this initiative will further strengthen bilateral relations, especially interactions in the southern region.
China and Indonesia have already established a solid foundation for economic cooperation, with trade volume reaching $129 billion, of which the southern region contributed over 20%. This data highlights the region’s critical role in promoting bilateral trade. Since the launch of the Two Countries, Twin Parks (TCTP) project in 2021, it has not only injected vitality into investment cooperation in industrial zones but also laid a solid foundation for future development. Looking forward to 2025, he mentioned that over one-third of China’s large-scale direct investment in Indonesia comes from the southern region, highlighting its significance in foreign direct investment (FDI).
Ms. Luo Shupeng, Deputy General Manager of the First Terminal Management Division at Baiyun Airport, warmly congratulated the unveiling. She emphasized that as a key transportation hub connecting China to the world, Baiyun Airport has always been committed to providing convenient and efficient services for international economic and trade cooperation. The consultation station is not only an important achievement in deepening China-Indonesia relations but also a part of enhancing Baiyun Airport’s international service standards.
In recent years, the increasing flow of people and goods between China and Indonesia has underscored the strategic importance of this international hub. The new business platform will further strengthen its strategic significance. Against the backdrop of complex global economic trends, the enduring friendship between China and Indonesia and the rapid growth of tourism between the two countries have created more opportunities. She expressed her hopes that this comprehensive service platform will better support businesses in expanding their markets and inject new vitality into bilateral relations.
Mr. Chen Riling, President of the Indonesian Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of Wanshida, affirmed in his speech that Wanshida has always been committed to promoting development between China and Indonesia, particularly in economic and trade fields. The decision to establish the consultation center will significantly improve information accessibility for enterprises and provide higher-quality services for market analysis and policy interpretation.
The Indonesia Investment Service Center and the China-Indonesia Twin Parks Baiyun Airport Consultation Station are not just platforms for information exchange but also new starting points for exploring business opportunities. Through resource integration, they will help enterprises better understand each other’s market demands, unlocking more potential cooperation opportunities and achieving mutual benefits. This innovative initiative is expected to influence broader and deeper interactions between the two countries in the coming years.
Building a Platform for Economic Interaction to Drive Economic Development
Against the increasingly complex global economic backdrop, the unveiling of the Indonesia Investment Service Center and the China-Indonesia Twin Parks Baiyun Airport Consultation Station conveys a positive signal and demonstrates the determination of both countries to strengthen economic cooperation. This platform is regarded as an important link between businesses and markets and will create opportunities for mutual benefits in a broader range of fields.
The establishment of this new platform is part of Wanshida Group’s strategic layout, aiming to provide efficient services for China-Indonesia economic interactions and explore more opportunities for future cooperation. It is worth noting that the “Two Countries, Twin Parks” model has become a new benchmark for innovative economic and trade development between the two countries. The Chinese park, centered on the Fuzhou Yuanhong Investment Zone, and the Indonesian parks, including the Bintan Industrial Estate, Aviarna Industrial Estate, and Batang Industrial Estate, aim to jointly create a flagship “Belt and Road” project through industrial park integration.
It is reported that the China-Indonesia Twin Parks Batang Industrial Estate has signed a land agreement with a total area of 98 hectares. Over the next 2-3 years, it is expected to attract 200 enterprises and create 200,000 jobs. Furthermore, the project aims to build an industrial base of over 10 million square meters within five years.
At the unveiling ceremony, numerous guests expressed high recognition for this project, viewing it as a great opportunity to drive local economic development. The efforts of individuals and institutions who worked hard to prepare for the event were also praised. Their actions exemplify the relentless pursuit of China-Indonesia friendship and pragmatic cooperation. These efforts culminated in a grand unveiling ceremony that symbolizes a new beginning for even closer ties in the future.
