On July 15, 2026, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Indonesia successfully held Forum on China's Travel Facilitation Measures For Indonesians at the "China Space" of the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. Mr. Zheng Jie, Minister Counselor and Consul General of the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, and Mr. Mulyono, Director of The Voice of Istiqlal (Voist), attended and addressed the event. Approximately one hundred participants from various sectors of Indonesian society participated in the Forum.

In his remarks, Minister Counselor Zheng Jie pointed out that in recent years, the building of the China-Indonesia community with a shared future has delivered tangible benefits to people's lives, brought our two peoples closer, and further enhanced mutual understanding. He expressed hope that Indonesian friends would visit China more often to know China better.

Ms. Liu Lin, Director of the Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, provided a detailed overview of China's travel facilitation measures, including the 240-hour visa‑free transit policy, the ASEAN visa, the 30‑day visa‑free policy for Hainan, the "instant tax refund" scheme, and diverse flight options. Mr. Xie Dai, Deputy General Manager of UnionPay International's Southeast Asia Branch, introduced convenient payment measures for Indonesian travelers in China, such as QR code interconnectivity. During the Q&A session, attendees raised several questions, and the speakers responded with detailed answers.

Director Mulyono said that in recent years, Indonesia and China have maintained close exchanges across various fields, with a growing number of Indonesians showing interest in travelling to China. Today's Forum would encourage more Indonesian people to "step into China" and gain a better understanding of the country.
