The South China Morning Post has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or Kadin Indonesia, to establish a platform for dialogue between the business leaders of Indonesia and the Chinese mainland, including Hong Kong.

The Post, which has been covering China from Hong Kong since its first front page was published in November 1903, will leverage its editorial authority, convening power and international readership, while Kadin Indonesia will mobilise the nation’s business leadership and provide access to its network of enterprises.

The two parties will be equal partners in advancing a range of initiatives, according to the memorandum that was signed on Saturday in Jakarta. The two parties are in active talks to curate a list of topics and speakers for the Post’s flagship “China Conference: Southeast Asia” to be held in Jakarta – the first time for the annual event in Indonesia – in early 2026, said the Post’s Executive Managing Editor Zuraidah Ibrahim.

“Through this strategic collaboration with Kadin Indonesia, we aim to bring valuable insights into the dynamics between China and Indonesia to our global readers, while forging meaningful connections with this region’s key business leaders,” said Catherine So, CEO of the Post. “We are eager to foster a trusted, mutually beneficial platform among Hong Kong, mainland Chinese and Indonesian companies, and we look forward to bringing the Post’s flagship China Conference and other initiatives to Indonesia in the coming year.”
