From Daily Times, via China National News:
Fresh from striking a historic partnership with India, China will next week sign a strategic deal, formalising an economic and security alliance with Indonesia, the foreign ministry said Monday.
Chinese President Hu Jintao will sign the declaration in a meeting with his Indonesian counterpart Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono after this weekend’s summit of Asian and African leaders in Jakarta, ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa said.
Natalegawa said the exact details of the deal could not be released as they had not yet been formalised, but said it was “a good document commensurate with the important bilateral ties Indonesia is developing with China”.
