He called on the parties to further strengthen strategic communication, build mutual trust, jointly overcome constantly emerging global challenges, and safeguard common interests of peace and stability in the region.
According to Van I, ensuring the security of global production and sales chains and uninterrupted maritime shipping corresponds to the common interests of the entire international community, and China is ready to make further efforts in this direction.
Noting that Singapore is an important member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and will assume the chairmanship of the organization next year, Van I expressed hope that the Singaporean side will continue to play an active role in promoting cooperation between China and ASEAN.
