在中國—東盟博覽會的舞臺上，中國和東盟10國以合作詮釋共贏，合作共贏之路越走越寬廣。經(jīng)過14年的長足發(fā)展，中國—東盟博覽會已成為促進(jìn)中國與東盟合作的有效公共平臺。

我和東博會共同成長

毛?維斯那是柬埔寨商業(yè)部貿(mào)促總局展覽事務(wù)部科長，已經(jīng)第9次參與東博會。說起自己與東博會的緣分，他笑稱自己在東博會的“舞臺”上逐漸成長，也見證了東博會的長足發(fā)展。

“第一次參會時我還只是個負(fù)責(zé)東博會相關(guān)工作的新人，職權(quán)無足輕重。但如今我已經(jīng)擁有了10年的參會經(jīng)驗，我也因此開始承擔(dān)較為重要的責(zé)任，參與到東博會各項重大的籌備工作中去?！泵?維斯那在出席第14屆東博會高官會時接受了中外媒體聯(lián)合采訪。他告訴記者，他眼中的東博會，人氣和知名度都很高，是促進(jìn)中柬經(jīng)貿(mào)合作的一個重要平臺，柬埔寨政府每年都把它當(dāng)作一個重大活動來積極籌備。

毛?維斯那的“東博會故事”只是中國與東盟合作加速的的一個縮影，耕耘數(shù)載，東博會已碩果累累，在過去的13屆東博會中，共有63位中國和東盟國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人、2700位部長級貴賓出席，58.4萬客商參會。促成了中馬“兩國雙園”、中國—東盟信息港等一批重大項目落地，成為中國—東盟合作的有效公共平臺，推動中國—東盟自貿(mào)區(qū)升級和21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路建設(shè)，樹立了互利共贏的典范。

凝心聚力 合作共贏

2017年3月13日，第14屆東博會高官會在廣西南寧舉行，會議透露，第14屆東博會將于2017年9月12～15日在南寧舉辦。

為了進(jìn)一步推動?xùn)|博會升級發(fā)展，提高經(jīng)貿(mào)實效，來自中國和東盟10國的東博會共辦方高官暢敘發(fā)展，共商籌備第14屆東博會，持續(xù)推動海上絲綢之路、自貿(mào)區(qū)升級版建設(shè)之大計。

中國—東盟博覽會秘書處秘書長王雷在會議上介紹，本屆東博會將以“共建21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路，旅游助推區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化”為主題，以中國—東盟旅游合作年為契機(jī)，以貿(mào)易、投資、旅游合作為重點，推動中國—東盟自由貿(mào)易區(qū)升級版建設(shè)，促進(jìn)區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化朝著更高水平互利共贏的方向發(fā)展，使21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路從共識走向務(wù)實，努力實現(xiàn)“友好合作邁上新臺階，經(jīng)貿(mào)實效實現(xiàn)新超越，多領(lǐng)域交流取得新成果，展會影響力又有新提升”的總體目標(biāo)。

中國商務(wù)部亞洲司官員凌霄也表示，將繼續(xù)做好東盟各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和部長的邀請工作，促進(jìn)政商高端對接，并加強(qiáng)中國與東盟的國際產(chǎn)能合作，完善投資促進(jìn)工作機(jī)制，把東博會打造成為企業(yè)間相互投資的權(quán)威平臺。

新亮點繽紛呈現(xiàn)

2017年是東盟成立50周年，中國—東盟旅游合作年，中國—東盟關(guān)系迎來新的機(jī)遇，新一屆的東博會將進(jìn)一步拓展中國與東盟的合作，增進(jìn)中國與東盟國家的友好互信，深化雙邊的互利合作。

為有效促進(jìn)東博會發(fā)揮好平臺作用，第14屆東博會將聯(lián)合中科院等70多家研究院，向東盟國家推介中國航天、化工、通信、裝備制造業(yè)等高新技術(shù)，促進(jìn)具有產(chǎn)能優(yōu)勢的中國企業(yè)到東盟國家投資，將“中國智造”融入中國—東盟產(chǎn)能合作領(lǐng)域。

“我們將繼續(xù)推進(jìn)‘一主多專、巡展并行’的辦展格局。”王雷秘書長介紹，2017年5月將在文萊斯里巴加灣舉辦2017東博會文萊展暨文萊首屆中小微企業(yè)展，6月在越南河內(nèi)舉辦“2017東博會機(jī)電展（越南）”，繼續(xù)辦好農(nóng)業(yè)、輕工、林業(yè)、文化、旅游等專業(yè)展。

值得一提的是，第14屆東博會將著力打造面向全球的經(jīng)貿(mào)合作平臺，鼓勵RCEP(區(qū)域全面經(jīng)濟(jì)伙伴關(guān)系)成員國、“一帶一路”沿線國家借助東博會平臺加深國際經(jīng)貿(mào)合作。為突出國際經(jīng)貿(mào)合作，東博會將原有的“特邀貴賓國機(jī)制”改名為“特邀合作伙伴機(jī)制”，邀請“一帶一路”沿線國家出任本屆東博會特邀合作伙伴。

春的花蕾，秋的收獲。新形勢下的第14屆東博會將給中國—東盟交流合作帶來哪些豐碩的成果，令人充滿期待。
