China is willing to work with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to deepen practical cooperation and write a new chapter in building a closer community between China and ASEAN with a shared future, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang said.
Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the 21st China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Trade and Investment Summit in Nanning, south China's Guangxi Autonomous Region.
China and ASEAN have a long history of friendly relations and are good neighbors, good friends and good partners, Ding said, adding that China and ASEAN have always moved forward hand in hand, which has become the most successful and dynamic model of Asia-Pacific regional cooperation and an illustrative example of promoting community building with a shared future for mankind.
