2025 marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Indonesia. Focusing on the transportation infrastructure construction, a key area of intense collaboration between the two countries, a symposium for Indonesian students communication was recently held at the National Institute of Transportation Development in Beijing Jiaotong University.

During the symposium, Jessica, an Indonesian exchange student, highlighted the significant achievements in bilateral infrastructure cooperation. Noting that China is an important partner to Indonesia, she said that China has contributed to the building of the Suramadu Bridge, the country's longest cross-sea bridge, which stands as a milestone in Indonesia's infrastructure development.

Another major topic of discussion among the students was the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (Whoosh), which is jointly constructed by the two countries. Speaking of this, Ellyse, another Indonesian student, who previously studied in Jakarta and now studies in China, shared her observations.

Emphasizing that the railway has transformed the backward condition of difficult commuting for Indonesian students, she noted that that the launch of this rail line demonstrates Indonesia's determination to advance its modernization, marking a major step forward in Indonesia's journey to becoming a modernized country.
