Jakarta, Jan. 30 -- The Indonesian government sees its relations with China as very close, based on a survey of the Indo-Pacific by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).

The results of the survey, according to head of the agency's legal research center, Emilia Yustiningrum, are in line with those of the ASEAN Peoples' Perceptions Survey (APPS) conducted by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI).

The APPS states that China is seen as the most relevant partner for the future of ASEAN.

"Since the administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to President Joko Widodo, relations between the two countries have continued to strengthen," she said at the launch of the APPS 2024 report here on Thursday.
