The fifth session of the Indonesian Rural Cadre Training Program, or village chief program, was launched in early November this year. Twenty-six Indonesian participants paid a visit to several cities in east China's Shandong Province, gaining insights into China's experience in developing agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises, rural education, skills training, and local infrastructure.

The program was officially launched in 2019, hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia and in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions Villages. Each year, 20 to 30 Indonesian village chiefs are selected to visit and study in China. By 2024, the program had held four sessions, with over 100 Indonesian village chiefs visiting China to experience and understand rural development.
