7月10日，驻印尼大使肖千在《中国日报》国际版和中国日报网发表署名文章《患难与共》，指出中印尼是共抗新冠肺炎疫情的好兄弟，共促恢复经济发展的好伙伴，共建人类命运共同体的好朋友，强调历经70载风雨的中印尼关系将在新时代焕发新生机，百尺竿头，更进一步，为地区和世界的和平与发展作出更大贡献。文章主要内容如下：
4月13日，两国迎来建交70周年，习近平主席和佐科总统互致贺电，一致高度评价两国关系70年来取得的长足发展，共同为未来发展指明了方向。与此同时，面对突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情，在短短半年内，两国元首两度通话、表达支持，双方人民同舟共济、共克时艰，成为两国友好的生动诠释，也昭示着双方关系的光明前景。
中印尼是共抗新冠肺炎疫情的好兄弟。新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中印尼两国政府和人民患难见真情，彼此给予对方坚定支持和真诚帮助，体现了风雨同舟、守望相助的深情厚谊。
在中国抗击疫情的重要关头，佐科总统于2月11日致电习近平主席，代表印尼政府和人民向中国政府和人民遭遇新冠肺炎疫情表示慰问，强调印尼作为中国的真诚伙伴，将始终坚定同中国人民站在一起，同中国人民共同努力尽快战胜疫情。印尼政府随撤侨包机及时为中方送去医疗物资。印尼社会各界通过捐赠、写信、视频、征集签名等多种形式对中国抗“疫”表示支持。
印尼发生疫情后，习近平主席致电佐科总统，代表中国政府和中国人民向印尼政府和印尼人民表示诚挚慰问，强调对印尼目前面临的困难感同身受，愿提供支持和帮助，共克时艰。由中国政府援助的核酸检测试剂、口罩、防护服、便携式呼吸机等两批医疗物资先后于3月和6月抵运抵印尼。中国地方、军队、企业也通过多种渠道积极支持印尼抗疫。
据不完全统计，中方向印尼援助的医疗物资逾1000万美元，这一数字目前仍在增加。中方还为印尼政府在华采购抗疫物资积极提供支持和便利。中国公共卫生部门第一时间同印尼同行分享《新冠肺炎疫情防控方案》及《新冠肺炎诊疗手册》。中国政府全力支持两国企业开展疫苗合作，双方相关企业已就新冠病毒疫苗三期临床试验拟定计划并积极推进。中国国家卫健委、中国军队医疗专家、福建省政府等同印尼方举行多次视频会议，积极分享中方在疫情防控及诊疗方面的经验做法。
中印尼是共促恢复经济发展的好伙伴。随着疫情防控进入新常态，如何统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展，特别是深化两国务实合作，成为摆在中印尼两国面前重要紧迫课题。
在两国元首通话精神引领下，双方不断加强战略沟通。6月4日，王毅国务委员兼外长同印尼海洋与投资统筹部长卢胡特通电话，宣布商讨建立便利必要人员往来“快捷通道”。外交部副部长罗照辉同印尼外交部亚太非总司长戴思拉举行视频会议，同意尽快启动“快捷通道”，并探讨开通重要物资运输“绿色通道”，助力两国重大合作项目复工复产。两国外交部还成功举行新一轮外交政策视频磋商，围绕疫情影响、抗疫国际合作、疫情下区域经济合作与互联互通、各自外交政策等进行友好深入交流。
“一带一路”旗舰项目雅万高铁建设稳步推进。今年以来，项目中方参建企业克服人员设备短缺、防疫压力上升等不利影响，推动项目不断取得新进展。目前，雅万高铁项目征地工作已基本完成，关键设施迁改取得积极进展，多处隧道和场地设施等重要工程成功贯通和建成。
两国经贸合作逆势而进。进博会等大型线下展会将如期召开，以广交会为代表的线上交易会大放异彩。双向投资热度不减，企业通过网上洽谈、视频会议、在线签约等方式推进投资合作。1—4月中印尼双边贸易额达241亿美元，同比微降0.5%；一季度中国对印尼直接投资13亿美元，增长12%，中国继续位居印尼第二大外资来源国。在疫情当下，两国经贸合作取得如此成绩难能可贵。
中印尼是共建人类命运共同体的好朋友。习近平主席指出，唯有团结协作、携手应对，国际社会才能战胜疫情，维护人类共同家园。中方愿根据两国元首达成重要共识，积极支持印尼政府抗疫努力，根据印尼方需要，推动两国科技、卫生部门及企业探讨开展疫苗研发、抗疫药物、检测技术、医疗设备联合生产等领域合作，共同打造人类卫生健康共同体。
建交70年来，尤其是近年来，两国关系定位不断提升，合作领域不断拓展，共建“一带一路”成果丰硕，给两国人民带来福祉。展望未来，中印尼将进一步加强发展战略对接，推动共建“一带一路”和“全球海洋支点”战略走深走实，大力拓展和深化健康卫生、复工复产和民生领域合作，推进中印尼全面战略伙伴关系高水平发展。
疫情正在深刻改变世界。中印尼作为多边主义的坚定捍卫者，将进一步深化两国在联合国、世卫组织、二十国集团和东亚合作等框架下沟通协作，坚定维护以联合国为核心的全球治理体系，全力支持世界卫生组织为全球抗疫作出更大贡献。坚决反对疫情政治化和病毒标签化，坚定捍卫国际公平正义。
历经70载风雨的中印尼关系必将在新时代焕发出新生机，百尺竿头，更进一步，为地区和世界的和平与发展作出更大贡献！
文章英文版本内容如下：
Solidarity in a Time of Adversity
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Indonesia. In the congratulatory messages exchanged between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indonesian President Joko Widodo in April, they both lauded the time-honored friendship between the two countries and pointed out the direction for its future development.
The two leaders expressed support for each others country in the fight against the COVID-19 and that the two peoples extended helping hands to each other during the hard times, manifesting the sincere friendship between the two sides.
On Feb 11 when China was at the most difficult moment in its fight against the COVID-19 outburst, President Jokowi expressed sympathy and support for China in a telephone call with President Xi. He said Indonesia would stand firmly by the Chinese people and work with China to win the battle. The Indonesian government sent medical supplies to China on a plane chartered to evacuate Indonesian nationals in Wuhan, Hubei province. Indonesian people from all walks of life showed their support for China via donation, letters, videos and signatures.
When Indonesia began to battle the pandemic, President Xi extended sympathies to President Jokowi on behalf of the Chinese government and people in a phone call. The Chinese government donated two batches of medical aid, including nucleic acid test reagents, masks, protective suits and portable ventilators, the first arrived in Indonesia in March, the second in June. Chinas local governments, armed forces and business also reached out to Indonesia to support its fight against the pandemic.
Incomplete record shows that China has donated medical aid worth over $10 million to Indonesia, and the figure is still climbing. China has also facilitated the procurement of anti-pandemic supplies by the Indonesian government in China, and timely shared with Indonesia its Protocol on Prevention and Control of COVID-19 and the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19. The Chinese government has encouraged the two countries enterprises to join hands in developing COVID-19 vaccines, with related companies from the two sides already planning on phase III clinical trials. Chinas health experts have shared their experience in prevention and control as well as treatment of COVID-19 via videoconferences with their Indonesian counterparts multiple times.
As pandemic prevention and control has become a "new normal" for countries around the world, how to adapt to the new situation while advancing social and economic development has emerged as a pressing issue for China and Indonesia.
The two sides have enhanced their strategic communication under the guidance of the two leaders. The two countries have discussed establishing a fast lane for travelers with immediate needs as well as a green channel for transportation of crucial supplies in order to facilitate the restart of key partnership projects. The two sides have also carried out a new round of negotiations on foreign policies via videoconferences, exchanging views on issues such as global collaboration on fighting against the pandemic and cooperation to reinvigorate regional economy amid the pandemic.
As a flagship project under the Belt and Road Initiative, construction of the high-speed railway from Jakarta to Bandung has not been disrupted by the pandemic, although the construction companies have had to overcome many challenges to keep the project moving ahead. The Chinese contractors have surmounted obstacles such as lack of staff and equipment and stringent pandemic containment measures, and made steady progress in construction of the railway.
Foreign trade between the two countries has also fared well despite the headwinds. Online expositions such as the China Import and Export Fair have created new cooperation opportunities for companies from the two sides. Investments have been promoted through online talks and videoconferences. Chinese enterprises in Indonesia actively adapted themselves to market changes, providing online services and door-to-door services to customers. From January to April, trade volume between the two countries reached $24.1 billion, a slight year-on-year drop of 0.5 percent. In the first quarter, Chinas foreign direct investment in Indonesia topped $1.3 billion, an increase of 12 percent year-on-year, making it the second-largest source of foreign investment in Indonesia. These development are even more valuable against the backdrop of the global pandemic.
As President Xi has stressed, only through solidarity and cooperation can the global community defeat the pandemic and safeguard the common home of all people. China will continue to support Indonesia in its fight against the virus and work with Indonesia on the development of vaccines, therapies and testing technology, the joint production of medical equipment and building a global community of health for all mankind.
Since the two countries established diplomatic relations seven decades ago, especially over recent years, the ties between the two sides has been brought to higher levels continuously with fields of cooperation expanded. The Belt and Road Initiative has yielded rich benefits for the two peoples. In the future, the two countries will strengthen the synergy of their development strategies with deepening cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Maritime Fulcrum strategy, Indonesias grand maritime vision, and enhancing cooperation in healthcare, resumption of business and production and other areas concerning peoples livelihoods.
China and Indonesia are both champions of multilateralism. With the pandemic profoundly changing the world, the two countries will deepen coordination and communication under global and regional frameworks such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, G20 and East Asia Cooperation, resolutely safeguard the global governance system with the UN at the core, and fully support the WHO in fighting against the pandemic. The two countries will firmly oppose any effort to make political maneuvers and label the virus so as to hold up justice and fairness in the world.
Facing new opportunities in this new era, further development of China-Indonesia friendship will make greater contribution to peace and development in the region and beyond.
