Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said China will join hands with ASEAN to achieve common development and promote regional peace, stability and prosperity.

He made the remarks in a congratulatory letter to a forum on China-ASEAN future relations, which was held on Wednesday in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said China and ASEAN share similar development paths and concepts of modernization.

As a "friendly and close neighbor and a reliable long-term comprehensive strategic partner," China is willing to strengthen the alignment of development strategies with ASEAN and firmly support ASEAN's community building and its central position in the regional architecture, he said.

Noting that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, Wang said the five principles are highly consistent with the spirits of the ten principles of the Bandung Conference and the ASEAN Charter. It is hoped that relevant parties will make good use of the forum to offer suggestions on the future development of China-ASEAN relations, promote the building of a closer China-ASEAN community of a shared future as well as the equal and orderly development of China-ASEAN relations, he said.

Wang added that both sides should join hands with all parties to provide new impetus for promoting an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.
