隨著《第16屆中國—東盟博覽會(huì)、中國—東盟商務(wù)與投資峰會(huì)重要活動(dòng)初步安排》的出爐，參加新一屆東博會(huì)的各國客商又將開始規(guī)劃9月的行程。就論壇而言，第16屆東博會(huì)框架下舉辦的高層論壇目前為33個(gè)，新納入高層論壇框架的論壇6個(gè)。論壇在覆蓋原有領(lǐng)域的基礎(chǔ)上，新增廣電傳媒領(lǐng)域。

關(guān)于第16屆東博會(huì)的新亮點(diǎn)，東博會(huì)秘書處秘書長王雷此前在接受本刊記者專訪時(shí)透露：“從廣西層面來說，有六大重點(diǎn)值得期待。分別是——服務(wù)廣西參與國際陸海貿(mào)易新通道、融入粵港澳大灣區(qū)、建設(shè)面向東盟的金融開放門戶、服務(wù)中國—東盟自貿(mào)區(qū)升級(jí)發(fā)展、助力廣西產(chǎn)業(yè)大招商、服務(wù)中國—東盟信息港建設(shè)。”

當(dāng)前，中國—東盟關(guān)系已進(jìn)入全方位發(fā)展的新階段，中國與東盟正按照《中國—東盟戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系2030年愿景》打造更高水平的戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系。國際陸海貿(mào)易新通道（以下簡稱陸海新通道）、建設(shè)面向東盟的金融開放門戶早已在中國—東盟政商界中成為熱詞。而中國—東盟合作的熱點(diǎn)往往會(huì)在東博會(huì)高層論壇得到體現(xiàn)。

共商共建共享陸海新通道

經(jīng)過3年的發(fā)展，陸海新通道建設(shè)已經(jīng)取得突破性的進(jìn)展：從最初的地方層面上升為中新兩國政府推動(dòng)的旗艦項(xiàng)目，中國參與陸海新通道建設(shè)的省份增加到13個(gè)，其合作范疇也不斷擴(kuò)大。廣西壯族自治區(qū)黨委書記鹿心社指出，當(dāng)前陸海新通道建設(shè)已經(jīng)由“提戰(zhàn)略、打基礎(chǔ)”階段轉(zhuǎn)入“破瓶頸、快發(fā)展”的新階段。

在新階段，陸海新通道建設(shè)面臨著新問題和新挑戰(zhàn)。例如，如何破除瓶頸、如何協(xié)調(diào)各方、如何讓陸海新通道更好地帶動(dòng)沿線各地的投資貿(mào)易？對此，第16屆東博會(huì)積極響應(yīng)，將舉辦中國—東盟共商共建共享陸海貿(mào)易新通道論壇，并邀請新加坡貿(mào)工部、中國重慶市政府共辦該論壇，通過高層對話達(dá)成共識(shí)、提出方案，為陸海新通道下一步的快速發(fā)展把好“方向盤”。

金融開放合作結(jié)出更多成果

在金融領(lǐng)域，中國—東盟金融合作與發(fā)展領(lǐng)袖論壇已成功舉辦10屆，在推動(dòng)廣西金融開放和跨境金融合作上取得了豐碩的成果。在2018年的第10屆中國—東盟金融合作與發(fā)展領(lǐng)袖論壇上，中國銀行（香港）有限公司與南寧市政府簽訂東南亞業(yè)務(wù)營運(yùn)中心落戶南寧的合作意向書，成為又一家廣西為構(gòu)建面向東盟的金融開放門戶而引入的金融機(jī)構(gòu)。如今，在中國—東盟金融城——廣西南寧市五象新區(qū)，已經(jīng)吸引了43家金融機(jī)構(gòu)、28家世界500強(qiáng)企業(yè)入駐，自治區(qū)級(jí)的金融服務(wù)業(yè)集聚區(qū)已經(jīng)初現(xiàn)規(guī)模。

隨著《廣西壯族自治區(qū)建設(shè)面向東盟的金融開放門戶總體方案》于2018年12月獲國務(wù)院批準(zhǔn)，2019年成為廣西建設(shè)面向東盟的金融開放門戶的開局之年。廣西將率先推進(jìn)在政策創(chuàng)新、體制機(jī)制建設(shè)、產(chǎn)品服務(wù)創(chuàng)新等方面的90多項(xiàng)金融改革創(chuàng)新。在第16屆東博會(huì)期間，第11屆中國—東盟金融合作與發(fā)展領(lǐng)袖論壇將增設(shè)建設(shè)面向東盟的金融開放門戶峰會(huì)，相信在會(huì)上將看到更多廣西擴(kuò)大金融開放、中國—東盟金融合作方面的務(wù)實(shí)成果。

媒體交流促民心相通

中國—東盟全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系不僅僅是經(jīng)貿(mào)投資方面的合作，還包括媒體、文化等社會(huì)人文領(lǐng)域的交流合作。借助東博會(huì)這個(gè)平臺(tái)，中國與東盟的媒體交流與日俱增。目前，東博會(huì)已經(jīng)在東盟各國建立起了合作媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)，加強(qiáng)與東盟合作媒體的聯(lián)動(dòng)，中國與東盟國家雙方的媒體也不斷加強(qiáng)對彼此事務(wù)和雙邊關(guān)系報(bào)道的頻度、廣度和深度。

2019年是中國—東盟媒體交流年，以此為契機(jī)，第16屆東博會(huì)將首次舉辦中國—東盟廣播電視及新媒體論壇暨電視交易會(huì)。在媒體作用愈加凸顯、媒體技術(shù)飛速發(fā)展的今天，預(yù)期中國與東盟的媒體人將聚焦如何利用現(xiàn)代技術(shù)加強(qiáng)傳播能力建設(shè)、提高傳播效果;推動(dòng)媒體服務(wù)于各領(lǐng)域合作，增進(jìn)雙方民眾相互理解;并探索開展中國—東盟媒體交流合作有效機(jī)制，將中國—東盟媒體交流合作一直延續(xù)下去。

除此之外，今年東博會(huì)框架下的論壇還涵蓋產(chǎn)能合作、電子商務(wù)、農(nóng)業(yè)、文化、教育、電力、保險(xiǎn)、醫(yī)藥等領(lǐng)域。這些高層論壇將通過靈活多樣的形式，深度對接“一帶一路”建設(shè)，激發(fā)更多合作新增長點(diǎn)，打造主題鮮明、特色突出的高層對話平臺(tái)。

The 16th CAEXPO High-Level Forums： More New Highlights Anticipated

Written by Xu Junhao / Translated by Mo Tingting

Along with the release of the Preliminary Arrangement of Important Activities of the 16th CAEXPO & CABIS， merchants from various countries participating in the 16th CAEXPO have started to plan their schedules in September. In 2019， the number of high-level forums under the framework of the 16th CAEXPO is 33， including six new ones in such fields as radio and television.

As for the new highlights of the 16th CAEXPO， Mr. Wang Lei， Secretary-General of the CAEXPO Secretariat， indicated in the interview with China-ASEAN Panorama that there are six key highlights for Guangxi， including its participation in the construction of New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor （NILSTC）， Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area， an open financial gateway for ASEAN， an upgraded version of CAFTA， a platform for Guangxi business promotion， and China-ASEAN Information Harbor.

At present， China-ASEAN relations have ushered in a new era of all-round development， where both sides are building a higher level of strategic partnership in accordance with the China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership Vision 2030. “New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor” and “an open financial gateway for ASEAN” have long been hot words in the political and business circles of China and ASEAN， which are often reflected in the high-level forums of the CAEXPO.

Jointly building the NILSTC

After three years of development， ground-breaking progress has been made in the construction of the NILSTC： It has been a flagship project promoted by the Chinese and Singaporean governments， with the number of Chinese provinces participating in its construction being increased to nine， and the scope of cooperation being expanded. Mr. Lu Xinshe， Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region， pointed out that the construction of NILSTC has shifted from the stage of “raising strategy and laying foundation” to the new stage of “breaking bottlenecks and developing rapidly”.

Besides， there are some problems and challenges in the new stage of NILSTCs construction. For instance， how to break the bottleneck， how to coordinate various parties， and how will the NILSTC drive the investment and trade along its route？ In response to this， the China-ASEAN New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor Forum Based on the Principle of Wide Consultation， Joint Contribution and Shared Benefits， co-sponsored by the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore and the Chongqings government of China will be held at the 16th CAEXPO， with a view to reaching a consensus through the high-level dialogues and putting forward plans to steer the rapid development of the NILSTC in the next step.

Financial opening-up and cooperation yielding more results

In the field of finance， the China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Financial Cooperation and Development successfully held ten sessions has achieved fruitful results in promoting financial opening-up and cross-border cooperation in Guangxi. At the 10th China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Financial Cooperation and Development in 2018， Bank of China （Hong Kong） Ltd. signed a letter of intent with Nanning Municipal Government for the establishment of the Southeast Asia Business Operation Center in Nanning， becoming another financial institution introduced by Guangxi for the purpose of building an open financial gateway for ASEAN. Nowadays， Nannings Wuxiang New District， a China-ASEAN financial district， has attracted 43 financial institutions and 28 enterprises on the Fortune Global 500 list.

With the approval of The Overall Plan on Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regions Construction of an Open Financial Gateway for ASEAN by the State Council in December 2018， the year 2019 marks the first year for Guangxi to build an open financial gateway for ASEAN. Therefore， Guangxi will take the lead in promoting more than 90 financial reforms and innovations in policy innovation， system and mechanism construction， product and service innovation and other aspects. At the upcoming 16th CAEXPO， the 11th China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Financial Cooperation and Development will hold a summit forum on building an open financial gateway for ASEAN that will show more practical achievements in Guangxis expansion of financial opening-up and China-ASEAN financial cooperation.

Media exchanges promoting people-to-people exchanges

The comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN is not only about economic and investment cooperation， but also about social and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation. By virtue of the CAEXPO， media exchanges between China and ASEAN are increasing day by day. At present， CAEXPO has established a cooperative media network in ASEAN countries and strengthened the relations with ASEANs cooperative media. Also， media from China and ASEAN countries have continuously enhanced the frequency， breadth and depth of reports on each others affairs and bilateral relations.

Since this year 2019 is designated as the ASEAN-China Year of Media Exchanges， the 16th CAEXPO will host the first China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Radio， Television and New Media & TV Fair. With the increasingly prominent role of media and the rapid development of media technology， media workers from China and ASEAN media are expected to focus on how to use modern technology to strengthen the ability of network communication， enhance communication effect， promote media cooperation in various fields， establish mutual understanding between the two peoples， and explore the effective mechanism to develop effective mechanisms for media exchanges and cooperation between China and ASEAN countries.

In addition， the high-level forums under the framework of the 16th CAEXPO， covering such fields as production capacity cooperation， E-commerce， agriculture， culture， education， electricity， insurance and medicine， will deeply engage in the construction of the Belt and Road， and stimulate more growth points through flexible and diverse forms， building a series of platforms with distinct themes and features.
