Singapore is a friendly neighbor of China. The two countries have established the all-round cooperative partnership progressing with the times and conducted fruitful cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Premier Li Keqiang's upcoming official visit to Singapore is the first one by a Chinese Premier in eleven years. It aims to further enhance China-Singapore traditional friendship, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and move forward the bilateral ties in the new era. The leaders from the two sides will take stock of the successful experience in the development of our bilateral ties and map out cooperation across the board in the future with priorities placed on the Belt and Road Initiative and innovation. The two sides will exchange views on regional cooperation and major issues of mutual interest in the context of the current regional and international landscapes.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of China-ASEAN strategic partnership as well as the China-ASEAN Year of Innovation. The China-Japan-ROK cooperation is regaining momentum. The negotiations on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership are moving forward at a faster pace and the regional countries have a strong aspiration for advancing regional economic integration. The situation in the South China Sea has stabilized and improved, and positive progress has been achieved on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) consultations. The East Asia cooperation is presented with new opportunities. Premier Li Keqiang's attendance at this year's meetings on East Asia cooperation is of great significance to elevating and upgrading China-ASEAN relations and promoting the in-depth development of East Asia regional cooperation.

　　当前国际地区形势正发生复杂深刻变化。中国和东盟国家同为发展中国家，拥有广泛共同利益，加强合作的愿望强烈。我们期待以中国—东盟建立战略伙伴关系15周年为契机，进一步增进政治互信，深化经贸、创新、人文、军事领域务实合作，推动双方关系迈上新台阶。希望此次系列会议聚焦东亚，促进发展与合作，推进区域经济一体化，维护多边主义、自由贸易和国际规则，为本地区和平、发展和繁荣作出积极贡献。

Now the international and regional situations are undergoing complex and profound changes. As developing countries, China and ASEAN countries share extensive common interests and have a very strong aspiration for stronger cooperation. We hope to take the 15th anniversary of the establishment of China-ASEAN strategic partnership as an opportunity to further enhance political mutual trust, deepen practical cooperation in economy and trade, innovation, cultural and people-to-people exchanges and military and elevate bilateral ties to a higher level. We hope that the series of meetings will focus on East Asia, promote development and cooperation, advance regional economic integration, uphold multilateralism, free trade and international rules and contribute to regional peace, development and prosperity.
