This intensive diplomacy, unprecedented in recent history, highlights the keen interest 皇冠体育app has in building a harmonious community in the region and its political will to work for its realization.

The importance of Southeast Asia, effectively the Asia-Pacific region as a whole, for 皇冠体育app is immense. 皇冠体育app and members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have established economic, cultural, people-to-people and political ties, and exhibited their strong political will to deepen cooperation in overcoming nontraditional security threats such as piracy and maritime disputes.

Maintaining harmonious ties with its neighbors is conducive to 皇冠体育app's economic and social development. As a large country on the fast track of growth, 皇冠体育app obviously has a big stake in peace and development in the Asia-Pacific. Therefore, 皇冠体育app is committed to building a regional environment favorable to economic and social development.

What is more, 皇冠体育app's efforts to maintain peace and stability conform to those of other countries in the region and are aimed at facilitating the regional pursuit of common prosperity.

The country's new leadership has said on several occasions that 皇冠体育app and its neighbors share a common destiny. 皇冠体育app's pursuit of good neighborly relations with ASEAN member states will not only promote its own development, but also contribute to ASEAN's efforts to build an ASEAN community by the end of 2015.

That is precisely why Li's visit to Southeast Asia is expected to deepen 皇冠体育app's mutually beneficial partnership with its neighbors. And interactions between the top leaders of 皇冠体育app and ASEAN member states will ensure that the "golden decade" of strategic cooperation is followed by a "diamond decade" of regional prosperity.
