How does China evaluate the current East Asian cooperation? What are the expectations of the foreign minister of this series?

Hua Chunying said that the current situation in East Asia is generally stable, and the state relations in China have maintained a positive momentum. China ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnerships have a good start, and the two sides actively promote the construction of the "five major homes" of peace, peace, prosperity, beauty, and friendship. The world's largest free trade zone -regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (RCEP) is implemented smoothly, and the pragmatic cooperation between East Asia has continued to advance, providing active help for regional recovery.

This year, the East Asian Cooperation Series Foreign Minister will be held for the first time since the new crown epidemic.

The first is to maintain the correct direction of East Asian cooperation, adhere to peace, development, autonomy, tolerance, practice open regionalism, and strengthen ASEAN leading regional cooperation mechanism. The second is to deepen the recovery cooperation after the epidemic, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economic and trade investment, interconnection, digital energy, ecological and environmental protection, and social humanities, and promote the sustainable economic and social development of the region. The third is to maintain regional peace and stability, properly handle the problem of regional hotspots through dialogue and negotiation, ensure that East Asia continues to become a high ground for peaceful development, and inject positive energy into the turbulent international situation.
