JAKARTA, April 28 (Xinhua) -- A promotional event for the English edition of the fifth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" was held here on Tuesday.

Participants at the event said the fifth volume reflects the latest achievements in the development of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and serves as an authoritative work for the international community to understand contemporary China.

China has embarked on a new journey under its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), while Indonesia is steadily advancing toward its Golden Indonesia 2045 vision. By strengthening strategic synergy and deepening development cooperation, the two countries will not only deliver tangible benefits to their people, but also inject strong momentum into the growth of the Global South and the improvement of the global governance system, they said.

Ahmad Muzani, chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly of Indonesia, said in his speech that "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" provides valuable reference for Indonesian diplomatic, academic and policy-making circles, and that the promotion event serves as an important platform for deepening exchanges of thoughts and views between the two countries.

He expressed the hope that more Indonesian officials, scholars and young people will read this important work, deepen their understanding of China's development path and governance philosophy, and broaden their perspectives on the world and the development of humanity in the future.

"During my visit to China, I witnessed how the country has advanced poverty alleviation through a people-centered development philosophy," said Indonesia's Minister of Transmigration Muhammad Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara.

"China's key concepts and innovative practices in poverty reduction governance, rural development and coordinated regional growth provide systematic and valuable reference for Indonesia in promoting orderly population resettlement and accelerating development in its eastern regions," he added.

At the event, experts and scholars exchanged views on topics including opportunities under China's 15th Five-Year Plan, common modernization and poverty alleviation experience.

Representatives from a training program for Indonesian village officials shared their experiences of studying and engaging in exchanges in China, as well as how they have applied what they learned from China to village governance.

The event was jointly organized by the State Council Information Office of China, the China International Communications Group, and the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia.

About 200 participants from China and Indonesia, including representatives from the publishing sector, think tanks and media, attended the event.
