国内英语资讯:China calls for Asian community of shared future

Delegates from 34 member countries of Asia Cooperation Dialogue(ACD) gathered in Bangkok to talk about Asian cooperation, development and integration during the 2nd ACD summit held here on Monday.

China called for an Asian community of shared future for the continent.

"It is time for us to vigorously build an Asian community of shared future driven by the two wheels of cooperation and dialogue," said Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao at the summit, under the theme "one Asia, Diverse Strength."

Li said the Asian community of shared future is about facilitating common development, promoting common interests, enhancing common security and taking on common responsibilities.

According to him, to build the Asian community of shared future, Asian countries need to enhance unity and coordination to maintain stability in the continent, strengthen connectivity to deepen integration and promote beneficial cooperation to boost development.

"China supports a multi-tiered Pan-Asian connectivity network to facilitate comprehensive integration of infrastructure in Asia," Li said.

In the opening ceremony of the summit, Prayut Chan-o-cha, prime minister of the host country Thailand, highlighted the need for countries to realize the Vision 2030, to try to achieve an "Asian Community".

Prayut also mentioned six pillars of cooperation in his speech, namely interrelation of food, energy and water security, connectivity, science technology and innovation, education and human resource development, tourism and culture and alternative approaches to sustainable development, which, he said, could be promoted together to create inclusiveness that will move Asia towards sustainable growth.
