China-ASEAN (10+1) Cooperation Mechanism

Established in 1997, the China-ASEAN (10+1) Cooperation Mechanism has played an important role in promoting closer political and economic ties between China and ASEAN members, and has become one of the major forums for regional cooperation.

China-ASEAN dialogue was launched in 1991. The first China-ASEAN (10+1) summit was convened in 1997 and announced the formation of the China-ASEAN partnership of good-neighborliness and mutual trust. The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was created in January 2010, representing a milestone in China-ASEAN bilateral relations and initiating the process of China-ASEAN economic integration. China was the first non-ASEAN country to join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia and establish a strategic partnership with ASEAN, and the first major country to build a free trade area with ASEAN.

Necessary platforms for dialogue have been in place to ensure successful and effective bilateral cooperation, including the ASEAN-China Summit, ministerial meetings, and working group meetings. The ASEAN-China Center is a permanent body for promoting bilateral cooperation.

中國–東盟“10+1”機制

中國—東盟“10+1”機制是中國與東南亞國家聯盟建立的合作機制，自1997年成立以來，雙方合作不斷擴大與深化，現已發展成一個密切的政治、經濟合作組織，成為東亞區域合作的主要機制之一。1991年， 中國與東盟開啟對話進程，中國成為東盟的對話伙伴國。1997年，雙方舉行第一次“10+1”領導人會議，宣布建立中國—東盟睦鄰互信伙伴關系。2010年1月，中國—東盟自貿區正式建成，這是雙方關系史上的重大事件，開啟了中國與東盟實現經濟一體化的進程。自此，中國成為第一個加入《東南亞友好合作條約》和第一個同東盟建立戰略伙伴關系的域外大國，也是第一個同東盟建成自貿區的大國。為保障雙方合作的順利與成效，“10+1”機制確立了一套完整的對話與合作平臺，主要包括政府首腦會議、部長級會議和工作組會議。中國—東盟中心是推進雙方合作的重要常設機構。
