While attending the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila on the 22nd, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, presented the fruitful results of cooperation in the five years since the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN. First, building a common destiny among the surrounding area is deepening and becoming more practical. China has reached an important agreement with the eight ASEAN countries to jointly build a common destiny between China and ASEAN, promoting a more solid foundation for building a closer China-ASEAN community of destiny. Second, the scale of trade has been steadily increasing. The 3.0-version upgrade protocol for the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was officially signed. The two sides have been each other's largest trading partners for 6 consecutive years, with trade volume exceeding trillion US dollars in 2025. The third is to work together to overcome difficult times. After Myanmar was hit by a strong earthquake and the Philippine island of Mindanao, China immediately helped, demonstrating the fine tradition of watching and helping each other between China and ASEAN countries. Fourth, cultural exchanges have become more popular. The China-ASEAN Cultural Exchange Year hosted nearly 200 high-level and popular events. The Chinese side issued a special “ASEAN Visa” to promote more convenient and more friendly personnel exchanges, and the cultural ties between the two sides became closer.
