Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 22. A reporter asked a question. Yesterday, the 23rd China-ASEAN Expo successfully concluded, and many new results were achieved. Last week, the official opening of the Pinglu Canal received great attention from public opinion at home and abroad. According to some commentators, the “golden platform” of the East China Expo and the “Golden Corridor” of the Helu Canal will open a new chapter of cooperation between China and ASEAN. What comments did the spokesperson have on this? Guo Jiakun said that the China-ASEAN Expo is a “golden business card” for cooperation between the two sides. Over the past 23 years, Dongbo has seen the leap forward between China and ASEAN from the “Golden Decade” to the “Diamond Decade” to the 3.0 Free Trade Zone upgrade. Guo Jiakun explained that this year's East China Expo set up an ASEAN demand exhibition area for the first time, and released the ASEAN countries' demand list for the first time to promote an accurate connection between supply and demand using the new model of “ASEAN Issues, China Solves Problems”. This year's East China Expo also set up a special exhibition area for the Pinglu Canal. After the canal is navigated, the shipping distance from southwest China to ASEAN countries will be drastically shortened, and a new channel for trade between the two sides will be opened up. “China is ready to implement the 3.0 version of the Free Trade Zone with ASEAN countries and work together to build a closer China-ASEAN community of destiny.” Guo Jiakun said.
