China will inject new vigor and vitality into trilateral cooperation with countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday, in commenting on the just-concluded ASEAN-China-GCC Summit.
China, the ASEAN and the GCC countries convened the landmark trilateral summit in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, on Tuesday. Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the inaugural summit and delivered a speech emphasizing long-standing friendship and exchanges between the three sides.
"Cooperation is the only right way to overcome common challenges. Given everything that is going on, opportunities can be created if we join hands to meet the challenges.With its high-quality development, China will consistently inject new impetus into the trilateral cooperation. The Chinese economy has been growing steadily since the beginning of this year, showing the great stability of the Chinese economy. We’ve made clear that more proactive and effective macro policies will be implemented and we will continue to strengthen counter-cyclical adjustments and have the capability and confidence to maintain the steady and long-term development of the Chinese economy," Mao Ning, the spokeswoman, said at a press conference in Beijing.
"We are increasingly placing our strategic priority on expanding domestic demand and strengthening domestic circulation with a view to enhancing the internal driving force of the Chinese economy. We will stay committed to expanding high-standard opening up and enable domestic and international circulations to reinforce each other, so that companies across the world, including those from ASEAN and GCC countries, can fully share in the opportunity of China’s development," said the spokeswoman.
