The Indonesian government not only sent construction materials, but also medical personnel to China. Besides, the Indonesian government had also given great support for the holding of two major sports events in China, Hu said in the website of the Asia-Europe (ASEM-7) Media Center here on Thursday.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono held a meeting with Hu on the planned holding of the 7th ASEM summit here on October 24-25, 2008. The ASEM summit will be attended by 43 heads of state or government.

Hu said he hailed the meeting as a chance to exchange ideas with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and discuss bilateral relations and other issues of common concern.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had earlier called on all countries and international financial organizations to jointly deal with the global financial crisis. “All parties, including international financial organizations should jointly attempt to solve the current global financial crisis,” President Yudhoyono said here on Thursday before hundreds of businessmen attending the 11th Asia-Europe Business Forum.
International organizations such as World Bank, IMF, ASEM and ASEAN Plus 3 (China, Japan, and South Korea), should together think about measures and efforts to deal with the financial crisis, he said. The organizations should also hold dialogs to address the financial crisis and help recover the global financial condition, he said.
