China's top political advisor Wang Huning expressed China's willingness to strengthen alignment of development strategies with Indonesia during his official visit to the country from Wednesday to Thursday at the invitation of Ahmad Muzani, chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) of Indonesia.

Wang, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), met separately in Jakarta with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Speaker of the House of Representatives Puan Maharani, Speaker of the Regional Representative Council Sultan Bachtiar Najamudin, and held talks with Muzani.

During his meeting with Prabowo, Wang said that China is ready to work with Indonesia to implement the important consensus reached between the two heads of state, and jointly pursue modernization paths suited to their respective national conditions so as to contribute more to world peace, stability and prosperity.

Prabowo said that Indonesia sincerely admires China for its remarkable development achievements and is willing to learn from China's successful experience as it pursues an independent development path suited to its own national conditions.

Noting that Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to the one-China principle and that Taiwan is part of China, he said Indonesia is confident about the prospects of bilateral relations and stands ready to consolidate the sound momentum of their development and work toward an even higher level of comprehensive strategic partnership.   

During his talks with Muzani, Wang said that over the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China-Indonesia relations have achieved substantial progress.

Wang noted that the CPPCC stands ready to deepen exchanges and mutual learning with the MPR, so as to better serve their respective modernization endeavors and the building of a China-Indonesia community with a shared future.

Muzani spoke highly of the fruitful cooperation between the two countries across various fields, adding that the MPR is willing to strengthen exchanges with the CPPCC, act on the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, and contribute to the development of bilateral relations.      During his meetings with Puan and Najamudin, Wang said that China is ready to work with Indonesia to further elevate bilateral friendship, mutual trust, and strategic cooperation to new levels, so as to better benefit the two peoples.

Puan and Najamudin noted that the friendship between the two countries has deep historical roots and that China is an important strategic partner for Indonesia. In recent years, bilateral relations have made substantial progress and brought tangible benefits to both peoples.

Indonesia highly appreciates and actively supports China's Belt and Road Initiative. The House of Representatives and the Regional Representative Council stand ready to continue playing a positive role in deepening mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, said the two officials.

During the visit, Wang also briefed the Indonesian side on the outcomes of the fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, saying that China stands ready to advance the alignment between Chinese modernization and the Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision and to further promote practical cooperation between the two countries.

The Indonesian side congratulated China on the successful convening of the fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee and expressed readiness to work with China to elevate bilateral relations to a new level.

Iran's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran seeking a ceasefire as "false and baseless," according to state-run Press TV.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei pushed back against Trump's remarks on social media platform Truth Social that the Iranian president "has just asked the United States of America for a ceasefire."

Trump added, "We will consider when the Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!"

Trump has repeatedly claimed in recent days that Iran is seeking negotiations to end the war.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi acknowledged that messages have been exchanged between Iran and the United States through intermediaries over the past few days, but stressed that no negotiations have taken place.

On the same day, Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's President, released a letter addressed to the American people, saying the Iranian people harbor no enmity toward American people, accusing the U.S. administration of fighting Iran as a "proxy for Israel."

"The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries," Pezeshkian said, adding, "Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern."

In response to Trump's threats of conducting large-scale strikes on Iranian energy facilities, he said attacking the country's vital infrastructure directly targets the Iranian people, stressing that such actions constitute "war crimes" and involve consequences extending beyond Iran's borders.

Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities on Feb. 28, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East, while tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz by restricting passage to vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States.

Wednesday's report by The Telegraph quoted Trump as saying he was strongly considering pulling the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) after the alliance failed to join the attacks on Iran.

Trump expressed dissatisfaction with NATO for "not being there," saying it was "actually hard to believe."

Responding to the U.S. president's remarks, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said at a press conference at 10 Downing that Street Britain would act in its national interest and would not change its position on the Iran war.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that France is not taking part in the U.S.-Israel military action. The Elysee Palace also reaffirmed that France's position remains unchanged.
