East Asia Forum is the only platform for exchanges among government, business and academia under the ASEAN Plus Three (10+3) framework. Since its launch 15 years ago, the forum has become an important platform for strengthening communication, building consensus, enhancing mutual trust and deepening cooperation, and promoted exchange and cooperation among regional countries and East Asian integration.
东亚论坛是东盟与中日韩(10+3)合作框架下唯一的官、产、学界交流机制。论坛举办15年来,已成为各方加强沟通、凝聚共识、增进互信、深化合作的重要平台,为促进地区国家的交流与合作、推动东亚一体化进程发挥了重要作用。
Six years ago, China hosted the 9th Forum in Chengdu, which was my first time at the East Asia Forum. The in-depth discussion on regional integration during that forum left me with a deep impression. Six years later, China is again hosting the East Asia Forum and I am again honored to lead the Chinese delegation. I look forward to discussing with you matters of vital importance to East Asia cooperation.
六年前,中方曾在成都举行第9届东亚论坛。那是我首次率团参加东亚论坛,会议围绕区域一体化建设开展的深入讨论给我留下了深刻印象。时隔6年,中方再次主办东亚论坛,我有幸再次率团出席,与东亚国家的各界精英共商东亚合作大计,深感高兴。

This year marks the 20th anniversary of 10+3 cooperation. 20 years ago, with the strong momentum of globalization, regional integration and multi-polarity, countries in East Asia launched the 10+3 cooperation process in a joint fight against the Asian financial crisis.
