KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Xinhua) — China has always been the most reliable stabilizing force in a turbulent world and the most reliable partner for members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in tackling difficult challenges, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said at a China-ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting here on Thursday.

Noting that China and ASEAN have similar development concepts, common requirements and integrated interests, he added that Beijing regards ASEAN as a priority area for diplomatic relations with its neighbors and a pioneering platform for promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"We should support each other and achieve success for each other in advancing the modernization process of Asia," Wang said.

The minister spoke about the achievements of China-ASEAN cooperation and put forward four proposals.

First, it must become a benchmark for upholding international justice. Wang said China and ASEAN must resolutely uphold the global system with the UN at its core and the international order based on international law.

China supports ASEAN's central position in the regional architecture and its greater role in regional and international affairs. China is willing to work with ASEAN to practice open regionalism and genuine multilateralism and make greater contributions to regional and global governance.

Secondly, it should be a model for maintaining peace and stability in the region. Peace and stability in the region are extremely valuable and must be reliably protected, and geopolitical conflicts or bloc confrontations should not spread to Asia, Wang Yi said. China is ready to take a leading role in signing the Protocol to the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Southeast Asia, he added.

The South China Sea is a common home for regional countries, not a "gladiator arena" for major powers, and China is willing to expand cooperation with ASEAN countries in areas such as marine environmental protection, shipping safety, maritime law enforcement and key maritime infrastructure, fully implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, facilitate consultations on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea and always hold the initiative in the South China Sea issue, the Foreign Minister stressed.

Third, it is necessary to set an example of mutually beneficial cooperation. According to Wang Yi, Beijing is ready to cooperate with ASEAN in building the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0, effectively implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and build a high-level free trade network.

China is willing to continue to use high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative as a core platform, strengthen communication and cooperation with ASEAN in industrial and supply chains, and advance cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation and clean energy, the minister said.

China highly appreciates ASEAN's firm commitment to free trade and the multilateral trading system, and holds that economic and trade differences should be resolved through equal dialogue and mutual benefit, while upholding its own dignity and fundamental principles and not encroaching on the interests of third parties, Wang said.

Fourth, we should set an example in promoting inclusiveness and mutual learning. China is willing to continue to advocate dialogue, exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations with ASEAN countries, the foreign minister said. The two sides should jointly hold a successful Year of People-to-People Exchanges, intensify exchanges in the fields of education, youth, think tanks, media and other areas, take concrete measures to implement the Global Civilization Initiative and promote mutual understanding, friendship and integration among peoples.

The participating countries noted that China-ASEAN cooperation is the most dynamic and fruitful. China has always been one of ASEAN's most important dialogue partners, they said, expressing gratitude to China for supporting the association's central position. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, spoke about the fruitful achievements of bilateral cooperation while delivering a speech at the China-ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting here on Thursday.

First, the community of shared future between neighboring countries has become stronger. In April 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping made successful visits to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia, which brought the construction of bilateral communities of shared future to a higher level and promoted mutually beneficial cooperation in the direction of improving quality.

Secondly, steps towards regional openness and cooperation have become more decisive. The negotiations on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 have been fully completed, and the protocol is expected to be signed within a year. The ASEAN-China-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) summit has launched a new model of interregional cooperation.

Third, security cooperation has deepened. The two sides completed the third reading of the draft text of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, effectively resolving differences and maintaining overall maritime stability. China has also joined hands with Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and other countries to combat transnational crimes such as online gambling and cyber fraud.

Fourth, mutual travel has become easier. Over the past two years, the two sides have held more than 100 cultural and humanitarian events. The issuance of “Lancang-Mekong visa” and “ASEAN visa” has officially begun, making mutual travel as convenient and frequent as family reunions.

Wang Yi noted that China always regards ASEAN as a priority area of its diplomatic relations with its neighbors. Beijing views this region as a pioneering platform for the creation of a community with a common future for mankind, the minister added.

According to him, China will continue to adhere to the principles of good-neighborliness, stable and prosperous neighborhood, benevolence, sincerity, mutual benefit, inclusiveness and common destiny. China is willing to work with ASEAN to promote Asia's values of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, and build a common home of peace, security, prosperity, beauty and friendship, Wang said. He also said that China and ASEAN will actively promote the building of an even closer community with a shared future, accelerating the rise of Asia amid the rapid strengthening of the Global South. –0–

TIANJIN, July 10 (Xinhua) — Igor Khodachek, director of the Eurasian Studies Center of the European University at St. Petersburg, entered his name on a computer while visiting the Tianjin Vocational Institute of Light Industry and a laser marking machine engraved his name on the surface of a metal plate.

“This is a wonderful souvenir of this trip,” said I. Khodachek, who participated in the “Dialogue of World Mayors – SCO Summit Cities,” which was held from July 6 to 9 in Tianjin, northern China. During the event, guests at the aforementioned institute visited an exhibition hall dedicated to Lu Ban’s Workshop and a base integrating production and training in the field of high-precision instrument manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing.

Lu Ban Workshop, named after the famous ancient Chinese craftsman Lu Ban, is a brand of international vocational education initiated and promoted by Tianjin City Government.

To date, China has built 34 Lu Ban Workshops in 30 countries and regions around the world. 10 of them were established in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Pakistan, Cambodia, Egypt and other SCO countries.

With the construction of a practical training center and the provision of modern teaching equipment in Lu Ban Workshop, Chinese teachers and technical personnel are also sent to learn technical skills from local teachers who may be invited to China for experience exchange.

Since 2022, Wu Zhengpeng, a teacher from Tianjin Vocational and Technical Institute of Urban Administration and Construction, has been teaching at Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan using China's advanced equipment and 3D teaching resources.

“We had a comprehensive discussion with the teachers of the Tajik side and jointly formulated the curriculum, discussed the methodology and agreed to invite them to Tianjin for exchanges,” Wu Zhengpeng shared. In July last year, representatives of the teachers and students of the Tajik Technical University named after Academician M.S. Osimi visited Tianjin as planned.

Lu Ban's workshop provides an opportunity for more and more young people from SCO countries to study abroad.

Ibrahim Maher, a 21-year-old student from Egypt, is currently studying at Tianjin Light Industry Vocational and Technical Institute under the Lu Ban Workshop project, majoring in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology.

“Lu Ban Workshop has many advanced teaching equipment and data centers from China, which enables students to transform theoretical knowledge into practical skills and adapt to the working environment more quickly. We are also provided with many opportunities to visit companies, participate in internships, and experience a large number of projects in practice,” he said.

At the end of the tour, Director of the Institute of World Politics of Kyrgyzstan Sheradil Baktygulov said that Lu Ban's Workshop provides assistance to Kyrgyzstan in developing such areas as robotics, autonomous driving and computer technology.

At present, Lu Ban's Workshop is an important platform for international exchanges and cooperation in the field of professional education, and also serves as a bridge to promote humanities exchanges and the rapprochement of peoples. -0-

BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) — China has taken measures to crack down on smuggling of strategic minerals while continuing to process legitimate applications for their export for civilian use, Ministry of Commerce spokeswoman He Yongqian said Thursday.

Responding to a question about strategic minerals reportedly transiting to the United States, He Yongqian said at a press conference that strategic minerals such as antimony and gallium have obvious dual-use properties, and export controls on them are in line with internationally accepted practices.

In order to resolutely prevent the illegal export of such minerals, China launched a special operation to combat their smuggling in May this year, He Yongqian said, adding that relevant information is available on the ministry's website.

She stressed that China, as a responsible major country, fully takes into account the reasonable civilian needs of various countries for these strategic minerals.

China reviews applications for export licenses in accordance with laws and regulations and approves those that meet the requirements, she said. -0-
