NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has discussed infrastructure investment during official talks with visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

The pair met in Sydney on Saturday for the president's first bilateral meeting on his two-day visit.

Ms Berejiklian said it was a "double honour" to meet the president so early in her term and with him making NSW his first Australian state visit.

After the meeting, she described her talks as extremely productive.

"Indonesia has an enormous infrastructure agenda and that was a central part of our discussion," she told reporters.

Ms Berejiklian described Mr Widodo as a modest and "great" leader of his nation.
