In 2016, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project was officially launched, and under the personal promotion of the heads of state of China and Indonesia, the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail has continued to advance and made significant progress. As a landmark project of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation between China and Indonesia, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail is a vivid illustration of the rich connotation of building a China-Indonesia community of shared future, and a vivid illustration of China and its neighbors working together under the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits to deepen mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
