The Indonesian government said Thursday it was confident that the targeted bilateral trade volume of 30 billion U.S. dollars with China will be achieved by 2010 as scheduled.

"The target will be achieved given that over the last 10 years, the bilateral trade volume has demonstrated a remarkable growth," Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said in a statement read by director of bilateral cooperation Sondang Anggraini in the Jakarta suburb of Depok.

Pengestu said China as the world's most populous country becomes an important trade partner of Indonesia.

The minister urged more Indonesians to learn Chinese language to explore more business opportunities with China.

"Mastering the Chinese language is very important to gather as much information as possible. Success depends on ability to get information," she said in a speech delivered at a seminar in the University of Indonesia.
