00:00Please hold the pose and ready in 3, 2, 1.
00:18Okay.
00:24Excellencies, I'm honored to co-chair this meeting together with Excellency Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's
00:31Republic of China.
00:33This year marks the 35th anniversary of ASEAN-China Dialogue Relations and the 5th anniversary of our comprehensive strategic partnership.
00:41We must remain steadfast in exploring further opportunities that are mutually beneficial against mounting protectionist measures.
00:52In this regard, we also look forward to the operationalization of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area or ACFTA 3
01:01.0 Upgrade Protocol.
01:02This is crucial as the ASEAN-China FTA 3.0 would enable ASEAN and China to explore future opportunities and
01:13address challenges in the years to come.
01:16China's advancement in technology, innovation and emerging technologies make it an important partner in ASEAN's digital transformation journey.
01:25We also look forward to deepening cooperation in energy and food security alongside supply chain resilience.
01:36Excellencies, undeniably partnerships and the OS people sustain them.
01:41Hence, the multifaceted nature of ASEAN partnership with China is also attributed to the extensive people-to-people exchanges and
01:50connectivity.
01:52It is important that we continue to nurture these exchanges as they contribute to the long-term foundation of close
02:00relations between us.
02:02I would now like to invite his ASEAN-China Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Co-Chair, to deliver his
02:10opening remarks. Please.
02:11Thank you very much.
