In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Han said China-ASEAN friendship and cooperation have gained abundant fruits in the past 15 years since the establishment of China-ASEAN strategic partnership, adding the two sides have made concrete efforts in sharing ideas and prosperity and shouldering responsibility especially in the past five years since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed.

The vice premier said the two sides will boost international capacity cooperation, promote connectivity and expedite construction of projects that include China-Laos railway, Jakarta-Bandung railway and China-Thailand railway.
