2014年印尼总统佐科提出“海洋强国”战略，与中国提出建设“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议高度契合。目前，两国在政治互信、基础设施、产能合作、经贸投资、资金融通、文化交流等领域开展广泛合作，并取得了一定的成果。但是，两国在共建“21世纪海上丝绸之路”时也面临诸多挑战，如印尼政策和法令不完善、印尼国内的雇佣成本上升、基础设施不完善、存在恐怖主义威胁、民族主义情绪潜伏以及中国产品的核心竞争力不强等。面对挑战两国应紧密合作，共同应对挑战，促进两国长期稳定发展。
In 2014，Indonesia’s new president，Joko Widodo，proposed “Ocean Power Strategy”，which is consistent with the “21st-Century Maritime Silk Road” proposed by China. At present，China and Indonesia have widely cooperated on political trust，infrastructure，capacity cooperation，economic and trade investment，capital intermediation，cultural exchange，and have obtained some positive results. However，there are some challenges in the cooperation. For example，in Indonesia，policies and regulations aren’t stable，cost of employment is rising，infrastructure isn’t complete，terrorism and nationalism always exist，and Chinese products have weak core competencies and so on. Therefore，China and Indonesia should cooperate closely to cope with these challenges，which can promote the stable development between China and Indonesia.
