00:00Kawan-kawan sekalian
00:01First and foremost, once again I would like to thank President Ramaphosa and his delegation
00:13for giving us the great honor of visiting Indonesia
00:17Today, we consider South Africa to be a very important leader in the world
00:28and we share a lot of common history, long struggle against colonialism, fighting for freedom
00:44We admire the strength, the idealism, and the courage of the struggle of the South Africans
01:02fighting against injustice and apartheid
01:07Therefore, this issue is an important milestone in our relationship
01:14We had a good discussion today concerning our bilateral relations
01:24In the economic field, our trade has increased significantly in the past five years
01:34But of course we would like to continue and increase the trade on a more balanced situation
01:51We understand that
01:53We would like to take steps to have perhaps preferential trade agreement
02:05or comprehensive economic partnership agreement
02:09in this period of international economic uncertainties
02:17I think it's very important that we have new relations and stronger relations
02:24South Africa is a very important leader in Africa
02:28I think will be important for Indonesia in the coming years
02:35In the field of defense, we agreed to accelerate the implementation of the defense cooperation agreement
02:46that we concluded in 2023
02:50And we will move ahead on that
02:55Also in the field of agriculture
02:57In the field of energy
02:59And people-to-people relationship
03:03Especially in the field of science and education
03:09So I look forward to increase these relations
03:17And we will send Indonesia as asked
03:22The President of South Africa
03:25The possibility if we can send a technical team
03:29Technical delegation
03:31To discuss concrete programs in key areas
03:37Where we can go forward very fast
03:40We also hope that we can have
03:44Closer cooperation in the field of people-to-people arrangements
03:51For instance, mutual visa waiver arrangements
03:55We support South Africa's presidency of the G20
03:59And I have received an invitation directly from President Ramaphosa to attend
04:10I think it's a great honor for me to attend
04:13I plan to attend
04:15And I think this also will symbolize the strength of South-South cooperation
04:25We are confident that South Africa's leadership will advance into a more inclusive and equitable global economic order
04:39Once again, I extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your visit
04:46For the friendship, solidarity and cooperation
04:49That continue to flourish between Indonesia and South Africa
04:54We are committed to advancing our strategic partnership with South Africa
05:00Thank you very much
05:02Thank you President Prabhu Subianto
05:05Thank you for this opportunity
05:08Your Excellency President Subianto
05:11Ambassadors, Ministers, and distinguished guests and members of the media
05:17It is a great honor to undertake this state visit to this beautiful country of Indonesia
05:30I am accompanied by a delegation which is composed of Ministers
05:36Who are responsible for international relations, defence, agriculture and trade and investment
05:48We have also brought a strong business delegation with a view to building a very powerful commercial partnership between our two countries
06:01The relationship between South Africa and Indonesia is deeply rooted in our histories
06:08And history that spans almost 350 years, beginning in the 17th century
06:20When the very first Indonesians were brought to South Africa by the Dutch colonialists at the time
06:34These early connections laid the foundation for a long-standing relationship between our two countries
06:43Today's visit also deepens that relationship
06:54And particularly because there are so many other linkages that bring us together
07:02I took time to congratulate Indonesia
07:05On the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the historic Bandung Asia-Africa Conference of 1955
07:19Where the South African people were represented by two great leaders of our country
07:25Moses Kotani and Malvi Kachalia
07:30I attended the 50th commemoration of the Bandung Conference in 2015
07:39Which was a great moment which brought together many leaders from the non-aligned countries around the world
07:49I am particularly pleased that today we have Indonesia as the latest or newest member of the BRICS family
08:02During our discussions we affirmed the importance of expanding and broadening bilateral relations on both political and economic fronts
08:16From existing bilateral mechanisms
08:21We agreed on the need to increase trade between our two countries as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth
08:31We spoke of the importance of building a more resilient and diversified economies between our two countries
08:41For the benefit of the people of both our countries as we face similar geopolitical headwinds
08:50This state visit was preceded by a business forum which provided a platform for South African companies to engage with their Indonesian counterparts
09:06One of the key goals of the business forum was to find meaningful ways for our two countries to develop pathways that will lead to the boosting of economic growth through business to business partnerships
09:25We discussed global issues as partners in the organizations such as BRICS, the G20 and the non-aligned movement amongst others
09:37We affirmed the need to strengthen the multilateral system so as to enhance peaceful resolution of conflict through dialogue
09:50We exchanged views on efforts to end the conflict in Gaza and to secure a just and lasting peace that realizes the aspirations of the Palestinian people for self-determination
10:09That should result in a two-state solution
10:12A state of Israel living side by side with the state of Palestine
10:19We are looking forward to hosting President Subianto at the G20 Leaders Summit in Johannesburg next month
10:30Under the theme Sustainability, Equality and Solidarity
10:35Through our G20 Presidency, we have focused on measures that we should all take to create an environment of inclusive growth, reduced inequality and sustainable development
10:56Especially in the Global South and also on the African continent
11:03We are grateful for the constructive discussions that we have held today
11:10Over lunch may I add
11:13Which really made discussions so much easier
11:19And this was also accompanied by wonderful music by musicians who can sing South African songs
11:27So all that created the best atmosphere during which we could have our official talks
11:34We are grateful for the constructive discussions that have taken place
11:40We would be honored to host President Subianto to South Africa on a state visit at a mutually agreed date
11:51He has already indicated that he is willing, prepared and able to come to South Africa on a state visit
12:01It is clear from my engagements today that we also share a common future of progress and development and for prosperity for all
12:13But more than anything else would like to thank the people of Indonesia for welcoming us with such open hearts and warm hands
12:23So we really thank you for having us in your presence in your beautiful country
12:30So thank you very much, President
12:32Thank you very much, President
