Beijing: China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with diplomatic envoys of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries to China in Beijing on Sunday.
The Foreign Minister said that as the largest neighbor and most reliable long-term strategic partner of ASEAN countries, China has always been a firm supporter of the building of ASEAN community and the centrality of ASEAN in the regional cooperation architecture.
"Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Xi Jinping has maintained close communication and mutual support with ASEAN leaders to further consolidate and deepen bilateral friendly cooperation," China's Foreign Ministry said in a press release on Sunday.
The two sides will soon jointly hold a summit commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of dialogue relations between China and ASEAN countries.
This will be a milestone meeting to chart the course for the development of bilateral relations in the next 30 years.
