Firstly, the bond of the community with a shared future in the surrounding areas is even closer.  

Secondly, the pace of regional openness and cooperation has become more firm. The China ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 negotiations have been fully completed and a protocol will be signed within the year. The ASEAN China GCC Summit has created a new model of cross regional cooperation.

The third is deeper security cooperation. All parties have completed the third reading of the South China Sea Code of Conduct, effectively managing differences and maintaining overall maritime stability. China has joined forces with Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and other countries to combat transnational crimes of online gambling and fraud.

Fourthly, personnel exchanges are more convenient. Both sides have held more than 100 cultural exchange activities for two consecutive years, and the "Lancang Mekong Visa" and "ASEAN Visa" have officially landed. People often come and go like "visiting relatives and friends".

Wang Yi stated that China has always regarded ASEAN as a priority direction for diplomacy with its neighbors, and sees its neighbors as a leading area for promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. China will continue to adhere to the principles of good neighborliness, security, prosperity, sincerity, inclusiveness, and a shared destiny. Together with ASEAN, China will promote the Asian values of peace, cooperation, openness, and inclusiveness, build a common home of peace, tranquility, prosperity, beauty, and friendship, promote the construction of a closer China ASEAN community with a shared future, and accelerate the revitalization of Asia in the historical trend of the global South's remarkable growth.
