On 6 June 2016, H.E. Mme. Yang Xiuping, Secretary-General of ASEAN-China Centre (ACC) had interviews with Hubei media, and expressed her views on ASEAN-China relations, local provinces’ participation in international industrial capacity cooperation, etc.
Secretary-General Yang Xiuping said that, this year was an important year in ASEAN-China relationship. 25 years ago, ASEAN-China dialogue relations were launched. With the joint efforts of both sides, the functional cooperation in various fields had achieved fruitful results. At present, the ASEAN Community was just built and China’s 13th “Five-Year Plan” had just been launched. As good neighbors, good friends and good partners connected by mountains and rivers, ASEAN and China should take this opportunity to enhance business matching and deepen the cooperation in different fields, to contribute to the prosperity and development of this region.
She said, the Forum on Global Production Capacity and Business Cooperation featured in high level and broad participation. More than 2000 participants from 72 countries attended the Forum, which showed that international capacity cooperation was in line with the national development demands and was highly valued by most of the countries.
International capacity cooperation cannot be strengthened without active participation of local governments and enterprises. Hubei had a solid foundation and a complete system for industries. It was strong in industries such as automobile, steel and iron, optical fiber, etc, and had great potential in international capacity cooperation. Hubei, together with other provinces in Central China, should take this opportunity to make active matching and find more common interests with their counterparts, to create a mutually beneficial future together.
