The focus and path of promoting the blue partnership between China and ASEAN

For China and ASEAN countries, maritime cooperation is one of the driving forces for regional economic development. In recent years, "blue economy" has become a key area of cooperation between ASEAN and China. In the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership Vision 2030 signed in 2018, the two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation in marine science and technology, marine observation, and disaster prevention and mitigation. At the ASEAN-China special summit to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ASEAN-China dialogue relations, the two sides agreed to work together on "building a blue economy partnership". ASEAN also adopted the Blue Economy Declaration in October of the same year. Although the declaration mentions that ASEAN countries will be committed to strengthening cooperation in the blue economy, specific cooperation projects and cooperation mechanisms have not yet been put into practice.
