With the political mutual trust deepening, the economic integration enhanced people-to-people exchange and the two sides were joining hands to create a community with common destiny. To deepen the ASEAN-China industrial capacity cooperation was in accordance with the demand of reality as well as the developing strategy of both sides. We should uphold the mutually beneficial and win-win principle, respect the market rule and push forward cooperation in a scientific manner. ASEAN and China should give full play to their advantages, tap the potential for cooperation, and lift the standard of cooperation. He encouraged both sides to enhance capacity cooperation from the following four respects: First, to strengthen business matching and tap the cooperation potential, to create a collaborative pattern for regional development. Second, to explore suitable industries to start with so as to reach tangible results. Third, to innovate the cooperation mechanism and lift the cooperation level. Fourth, to strengthen the service system, improve management system and further facilitate trade and transportation. He hoped that the parties could make joint efforts to deepen and broaden ASEAN-China industrial capacity cooperation together.
Mr. Peng Qinghua said that Guangxi was the frontier of ASEAN-China cooperation and a key region in co-building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. In recent years, Guangxi participated in international capacity cooperation actively and had made remarkable progress. Guangxi’s industrial advantages had been expanded to the new industries such as nonferrous metal, telecommunication, etc. Next, Guangxi would quicken its pace for cooperation with ASEAN and make full advantages of the efficient platforms such as China-ASEAN Expo, China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit, and Pan-Beibu Gulf Economic Cooperation Forum to make Guangxi the demonstration area of capacity and equipment manufacturing cooperation, as well as the Great International Passage for ASEAN and China.
