TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia has asked China to also provide a visa-free facility for Indonesians visiting that country.

"The number of visitors to the two countries is expected to reach 10 millions a year. In view of that I appeal to the Chinese government to also give a visa-free facility to Indonesian visitors to China," President Joko Widodo said at a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People here on Thursday.

President Jokowi, as he is also known, said he made the request because Indonesia has also given the same facility to the Chinese who wish to visit Indonesia.

He said it was necessary to provide the facility as one of concrete actions to realize bilateral cooperation between the two countries and to ease people wishing to visit the country to in turn boost exchange of visitors.
