Li Qiang stated that the China ASEAN Expo has witnessed the continuous development of bilateral relations since its establishment 20 years ago. We adhere to unity and self-improvement, win-win cooperation, and a broad vision for the world. China ASEAN relations have become the most successful and dynamic model in Asia Pacific regional cooperation, and a vivid example of promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
These four words are not only the basic orientation of China's peripheral diplomatic policy, but also the way of good neighborly and friendly coexistence, and an important tool for us to jointly create a better future. We need to put more effort into practicing these four words and strive to create a favorable environment for development, prosperity, peace and tranquility, so that the development of each country can better benefit neighboring countries and the people of the region.
One is to better practice the word "family" and further deepen emotional integration. China is willing to expand cooperation with ASEAN in areas such as culture, tourism, training, and youth, and continuously enhance people's understanding and affinity. The second is to better practice the word "sincerity" and further strengthen the foundation of trust. China is willing to work with ASEAN countries to abide by their commitments and carry out cooperation in various fields. China will adhere to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world and strive to create a good business environment that allows investors from all countries to feel at ease and at ease. The third is to better practice the word "benefit" and further tighten the bond of interests. China is willing to expand the import of advantageous and characteristic products from ASEAN countries, continuously improve the level of regional connectivity, and build a more stable, smooth, and comparative advantage based regional industrial and supply chain. The fourth is to better practice the word "tolerance" and further expand our open mindedness. China firmly supports the ASEAN centered regional cooperation framework, will promote the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative to better align with the development strategies of countries, and continue to promote regional economic integration.
