Xi, along with his wife, Peng Liyuan and delegations spent more than 30 minutes paying their respects to Indonesia's national heroes.
Xi arrived in Jakarta on a state visit on Wednesday (October 2). This is his first official visit to Southeast Asia's biggest economy and the world's third most populous country.
He will oversee the signing of a range of contracts, several of them focused on tapping the huge Indonesian resource sector to help feed the Chinese economy.
Trade between China and Indonesia stood at nearly $33 billion for the first eight months of 2013, making it Indonesia's second-biggest trading partner, after Japan. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
