Mission
Against this backdrop of deepening strategic partnership between ASEAN and China, ASEAN-China Centre has broader space and new opportunities for further development. As the only inter-governmental organization jointly founded by the Governments of 10 ASEAN Member States and China, ACC is mandated to enhance functional cooperation in five priority areas of trade, investment, education, culture and tourism, by implementing a wide range of result-oriented programs and activities as well as providing a comprehensive information bank on related areas. In response to the expectations of the Members of ACC, ACC will make more innovative and pioneering efforts to contribute to the further elevation of functional cooperation between ASEAN and China. ACC remains committed to be the facilitator of good-neighborliness and mutual trust, promoter of functional cooperation, and messenger of friendship between both sides.
ASEAN and China have been cooperating in over 20 areas, including connectivity, finance, maritime cooperation, agriculture, information and communication technology, human resource development, Mekong Basin Development, investment, energy, transport, culture, public health, tourism and environment.
China set up 10 billion USD ASEAN-China Investment Cooperation Fund, aiming to give financial support to major infrastructure projects in ASEAN Member States. China also set up ASEAN-China Cooperation Fund, ASEAN-China Public Health Cooperation Fund and ASEAN-China Maritime Cooperation Fund (3 billion RMB) to support functional cooperation in related areas. In 2014, China announced an establishment of Silk Road Fund of 40 billion USD as well as Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with its initial funding of 50 billion USD to support connectivity and infrastructure development in the region.
Among the highlights of ASEAN-China cooperation, ASEAN-China Expo (CAEXPO) has been held in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for 11 times. ASEAN-China Education Exchange Week has been held in Guiyang, Guizhou Province for 7 times.
In November 2011, ASEAN-China Centre (ACC), the only inter-governmental organization between ASEAN and China, was inaugurated during the 14th ASEAN-China Summit. ACC has been mandated to be a one-stop information and activities centre to promote ASEAN-China cooperation in trade, investment, education, culture and tourism.
