[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Willing to implement "Free Trade Area 3.0" with ASEAN countries] On September 22, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter from the main station asked: Yesterday, the 23rd China-ASEAN Expo concluded successfully and achieved many new results. Last week, the official opening of the Pinglu Canal to navigation attracted great attention from domestic and foreign public opinion. Some commentators say that the "golden platform" of the China-ASEAN Expo and the "golden channel" of the Pinglun Canal will open a new chapter in China-ASEAN cooperation. What's the spokesperson's comment on this? Guo Jiakun said that the China-ASEAN Expo is a "golden business card" for cooperation between the two sides. Over the past 23 years, the China-ASEAN Expo has witnessed the upgrade of cooperation between China and ASEAN from the "Golden Decade" to the "Diamond Decade" to the Free Trade Area 3.0. This China-ASEAN Expo also set up a special exhibition area for the Pinglu Canal. After the canal is opened to navigation, it will significantly shorten the shipping distance from southwest China to ASEAN countries and open up a new channel for trade between the two sides. China is willing to work with ASEAN countries to implement Free Trade Area 3.0 and work together to build a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future. (CCTV News)
