Xinhua, January 13, 2015 Adjust font size:
China and Indonesia pledged to cooperate on counterterrorism in Beijing on Tuesday.
The pledge was made during a meeting between Meng Jianzhu, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee; and Saud Usman Nasution, Indonesia's National Counterterrorism Agency chief.
Counterterrorism cooperation is an important component of the China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership, said Meng, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
Both countries should deepen counterterrorism cooperation to play a constructive role in maintaining bilateral and regional security and stability, given the complex changes in international and regional landscape in anti-terrorism, Meng said.
As both countries had been victims of terrorism, Saud said, Indonesia understands and supports China's effort to combat terrorist forces and is willing to increase communication and cooperation with China. Endi
