Vice-premier boosts Indonesian ties

China and Indonesia signed seven documents on Tuesday to promote cultural and people-to-people exchanges during Vice-Premier Liu Yandong's visit to the Southeast Asian country.

Liu and Indonesian Coordinating Minister of Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani witnessed the signing of the deals after they co-hosted the third meeting of the China-Indonesia people-to-people exchange mechanism at the vice-premier level in Solo, Indonesia.

The meeting was held as China has become Indonesia's largest source of foreign tourists, with more than 2 million visits made between the two countries last year.
