中國(guó)–東盟“10+1”機(jī)制

中國(guó)—東盟“10+1”機(jī)制是中國(guó)與東南亞國(guó)家聯(lián)盟建立的合作機(jī)制。自1997年成立以來(lái)，雙方合作不斷擴(kuò)大與深化,現(xiàn)已發(fā)展成一個(gè)密切的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)合作組織，成為東亞區(qū)域合作的主要機(jī)制之一。1991年，中國(guó)與東盟開(kāi)啟對(duì)話進(jìn)程，中國(guó)成為東盟的對(duì)話伙伴國(guó)。1997年，雙方舉行第一次“10+1”領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會(huì)議，宣布建立中國(guó)—東盟睦鄰互信伙伴關(guān)系。2010年1月，中國(guó)—東盟自貿(mào)區(qū)正式建成，這是雙方關(guān)系史上的重大事件，開(kāi)啟了中國(guó)與東盟實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的進(jìn)程。自此，中國(guó)成為第一個(gè)加入《東南亞友好合作條約》和第一個(gè)同東盟建立戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系的域外大國(guó)，也是第一個(gè)同東盟建成自貿(mào)區(qū)的大國(guó)。為保障雙方合作的順利與成效，“10+1”機(jī)制確立了一套完整的對(duì)話與合作平臺(tái)，主要包括政府首腦會(huì)議、部長(zhǎng)級(jí)會(huì)議和工作組會(huì)議。中國(guó)—東盟中心是推進(jìn)雙方合作的重要常設(shè)機(jī)構(gòu)。

CHINA-ASEAN (10+1) COOPERATION MECHANISM

Established in 1997, the China-ASEAN (10+1) Cooperation Mechanism has played an important role in promoting closer political and economic ties between China and ASEAN members, and has become one of the major forums for regional cooperation.

China-ASEAN dialogue was launched in 1991. The first China-ASEAN (10+1) summit was convened in 1997 and announced the formation of the China-ASEAN partnership of good-neighborliness and mutual trust. The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was created in January 2010, representing a milestone in China-ASEAN bilateral relations and initiating the process of China-ASEAN economic integration. China was the first non-ASEAN country to join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia and establish a strategic partnership with ASEAN, and the first major country to build a free trade area with ASEAN.

Necessary platforms for dialogue have been in place to ensure successful and effective bilateral cooperation, including the ASEAN-China Summit, ministerial meetings, and working group meetings. The ASEAN-China Center is a permanent body for promoting bilateral cooperation.

ASIA-PACIFIC ECONOMIC COOPERATION

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum is the highest-level mechanism for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. With 21 member economies and three observers – ASEAN Secretariat, Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, and Pacific Islands Forum – it covers an extensive part of the world and wields significant influence. The forum was formally established in November 1989 at a ministerial meeting in the Australian capital of Canberra, attended by Australia, the US, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Canada, and the then six ASEAN countries.

As an economic forum, APEC focuses on global and regional economic issues such as trade and investment liberalization, regional economic integration, connectivity, economic structural reform and innovative development, global multilateral trade systems, economic and technological cooperation, and capacity building. Its primary goal is to safeguard the common interests of its member economies in Asia-Pacific, increase their economic interdependence, create an open multilateral trade system, and reduce regional trade and investment barriers.

APEC operates at five institutional levels: meetings of economic leaders, ministerial meetings, meetings of senior officials, committees and working groups, and the Secretariat. China hosted the 2001 and 2014 APEC economic leaders meetings in Shanghai and in Beijing respectively, and has played an active role in promoting free and open regional trade and investment and stimulating regional and global economic growth.
