What is the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN?

First, respect each other and adhere to the basic norms of international relations.

Equal treatment and harmony are our common aspirations. We took the lead in advocating the Five Principles of Peace and the Bandung Spirit, and China was the first ASEAN dialogue partner to join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. We take care of each other's major concerns, respect each other's development path, enhance understanding and trust through sincere communication, seek common ground while reserving differences, resolve differences and problems, and safeguard and carry forward Asian values.

Second, win-win cooperation and peaceful development.

Achieving national stability and people's happiness is our common goal. We firmly safeguard regional peace and stability, always focus on the theme of development, take the lead in establishing a free trade zone, build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, promote the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, and promote regional integrated development and people's well-being.

Third, watch and help each other and practice the concept of sincerity and tolerance.

It is our tradition to help each other. Like relatives, we often come and go, attach importance to friendship and honor, celebrate happy events, and help each other when encountering difficulties. Working together to cope with the challenges of the Asian financial crisis, the international financial crisis and the COVID-19 epidemic has enhanced our sense of community of destiny.

Fourth, we should learn from each other and build an open regionalism.

Diversity and tolerance are our genes. We draw wisdom from East Asian civilization, lead regional economic integration with an open concept, promote ASEAN-led regional cooperation through equal consultation, build an open rather than exclusive circle of friends with an inclusive mind, and implement the principle of * * * * * *.
