Indonesia-China Relations in A Post-Pandemic World: Indonesian Perspectives


Over the past 3 years, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) has actively kept track on China-related issue by providing a platform for a regular discussion among seating/former government officials, experts, academicians, and practitioners to gather and discuss important and strategic issues surrounding the Indonesia-China relations through our informal circle group
namely FPCI China Policy Group (CPG).

In continuing our commitment to contribute to a better understanding and analysis of China’s economic and political development and its foreign policies, FPCI will bring together top strategic thinkers or scholars from Indonesia on a biannual basis for a highly interactive conversation on a wide spectrum of economic, foreign policy, and security issues.
