BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the 18th China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit on Sept. 10.

Xi pointed out that China and ASEAN have established dialogue relations for 30 years, and the two sides have deepened their all-around cooperation and become each other's largest trading partners, making it the most dynamic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Looking ahead, China is willing to enhance strategic mutual trust with ASEAN, deepen cooperation in various fields such as anti-epidemic, economy, and trade, promote the early entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), build "One Belt and One Road" with high quality, create a higher level of strategic partnership, and jointly maintain the good momentum of prosperity and development in the region.
