He also emphasized the need for enhanced cooperation on governance in the face of new challenges, and highlighted the ACC’s role in facilitating governance exchanges between ASEAN and China.

史忠俊强调中国和东盟传统友谊深厚，双方有着对实现经济发展、社会进步和国家现代化的共同追求。中国和东盟国家治国理政交流由来已久，为双方各自国家发展和现代化建设发挥了积极作用，新时期双方更需加强治国理政经验交流。中国—东盟中心愿为此发挥积极作用，未来将继续同中国国家行政学院和东盟行政院校和智库携手合作，共同推进双方国家治理能力和治理体系现代化。

Gong Weibin and Li Wentang highlighted the historic achievements that China has made in modernizing its national governance system and governance capabilities since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. They underlined that deepening reform in an all-round manner is a crucial safeguard for modernization. As global and domestic conditions evolve due to economic shifts, political developments, technological advancement and social transformations, the emerging challenges call for effective solutions through updated policies, regulations and reforms. China adheres to a goal-oriented and problem-oriented approach, gradually eliminating institutional obstacles, advancing economic system reform, and building a modern socialist market economy. They welcomed further exchanges on governance to jointly promote modernization of ASEAN and China.
龚维斌和李文堂表示，国家治理现代化主要包括国家治理体系和治理能力两方面的现代化，相辅相成，缺一不可。党的十八大以来，中国特色社会主义步入新时代，中国国家治理体系和治理能力不断提升，推动党和国家事业取得历史性成绩，发生历史性变革。新一轮科技革命和产业变革正在深刻影响世界发展格局，中国将以更坚定决心和更有力举措，继续深化改革，推动国家治理能力和治理体系现代化进程。希望同东盟行政院校和智库深化交流合作，服务各自国家发展历程。
