In 2018, China and ASEAN celebrated the 15th anniversary of the China-ASEAN strategic partnership. Over the last 15 years, the two sides have cemented bilateral relations and stood shoulder-to-shoulder through thick and thin. The China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership Vision 2030 adopted by the 21st China-ASEAN Summit in November 2018 presented a new blueprint for the long-term growth of China-ASEAN relations in the new era. A goal has been set to build a closer community with a shared future.
