In late July 2026 Indonesia and China expanded their bilateral cooperation across a broad range of energy and industrial sectors. On July 26, Indonesian officials highlighted the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" initiative under the Belt and Road framework, inviting Chinese firms to co‑invest in supply‑chain development, EV battery value chains, digital infrastructure and renewable energy. The same announcement noted a major offshore oil discovery by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) near the South China Sea, underscoring both commercial interest and environmental concerns.

A few days later, on July 31, the partnership shifted focus toward climate and clean‑energy projects. Indonesia’s Environment Minister met China’s special climate envoy in Jakarta, reaffirming a commitment to joint renewable‑energy investment, EV ecosystems, solar‑panel manufacturing, and green‑industry supply chains. The two sides also pledged cooperation on disaster‑early‑warning systems, green‑technology transfer, capacity‑building and circular‑economy initiatives aimed at sustainable growth and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.

Together, the snapshots show the partnership evolving from broad industrial integration and a newly discovered oil reservoir to concrete agreements on renewable energy, climate resilience and green technology within a week.
