Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang Tuesday hailed the newly-established China-Indonesia strategic partnership, saying that it will boost "comprehensive cooperation" between the two countries.

The strategic partnership was established during Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to Indonesia which was concluded Tuesday afternoon.

Qin said the strategic partnership between China and Indonesia had "both regional and international significance."

The spokesman recalled Hu's talks with his Indonesian counterpart Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He said Hu had suggested that the strategic partnership be developed by focusing on seven aspects, including more exchange of high-level visits, improving cooperation on economy, security and disaster relief, promoting China-ASEAN relations and the cooperation in East Asia, and improving cooperation among developing nations.

Qin said Hu's suggestions received positive feedback from Susilo. During Hu's Indonesia visit, the two countries signed a series of cooperative agreements.

Hu left Jakarta for Manila for a state visit to the Philippines Tuesday afternoon, the last leg of his three-nation Southeast Asia tour.
