Sino-ASEAN ties dynamic, fruitful

China has spoken highly of its relationship with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, describing it as one of the most dynamic and fruitful examples of cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.

Speaking on Tuesday at a regular news conference, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian reaffirmed China's commitment to the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, bringing greater benefits to people across Asia and injecting more stability and hope into the world by building an Asian community with a shared future.

His remarks followed a recent article by the Valdai International Discussion Club, a Russian think tank, which noted that China and ASEAN are emerging as new centers of influence in East Asia and emphasized that their relationship carries profound significance not only for Asia, but also for the broader international community.
