Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to China Dang Minh Khoi said that the relationship between the bloc and China has developed strongly in the past 25 years.
ASEAN is China’s third largest trade partner while China has been one of the leading partners of the bloc since 2009, he said.
The ambassador added that the establishment of the ASEAN Community is a
solid foundation for both sides to bring their relations to a new level.
At the opening ceremony, Secretary General of the ASEAN-China Centre
(ACC) Yang Xiuping said that the ACC will continue serving as a bridge
to boost exchanges between the Chinese Government and ASEAN member
nations, actively contributing to the relations among the two sides’
people.
Within the framework of the Week, which runs until May 29, a series of
