Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said earlier this year that he was looking forward to the adoption of the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership Vision 2030 at the upcoming ASEAN-China summit, a key document to chart the course for the future cooperation between China and the 10-nation bloc.
Li proposed the blueprint at the China-ASEAN leaders' meeting in Manila last year.
China has always viewed ASEAN as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy, Assistant Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong said, adding that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is intended to be closely aligned with ASEAN development plans with mutually beneficial results.
The improvements in China's relations with Japan and with South Korea this year bring more opportunities for their cooperation while adding new impetus to the leaders' meeting between ASEAN and the three countries, Chen said.
Regarding the East Asia summit, Chen said China hopes all sides will strengthen strategic communication, boost pragmatic cooperation, deepen mutual understanding and reach consensus.
CLOSER TIES WITH SINGAPORE
Li is the first Chinese premier to visit Singapore in 11 years. His visit is expected to further cement bilateral ties.
With frequent high-level exchanges and fruitful cooperation results, China-Singapore ties maintain positive momentum at present, Chen said.
Singapore contributed invaluable experience and investment to China over the 40 years of China's reform and opening-up, with China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park in eastern China to pioneer the industrial development while serving as a flagship project of their cooperation. For years, China has been Singapore's largest trading partner and top export market.
