On September 16th, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Ni Hong met with Secretary-General of ASEAN, Lim Jock Hoi, who is in China to attend the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo. Ni Hong stated that the 2025 China-ASEAN Ministerial Roundtable Meeting was successfully held, and the Chinese and ASEAN ministers and representatives reached a series of consensus on deepening and expanding cooperation through the "Guilin Initiative". The concurrent China-ASEAN Building Technology Exhibition, China-ASEAN Mayors Forum, and China-ASEAN Construction Industry Cooperation and Development Forum provided a platform for urban governments and the construction industry to exchange ideas and cooperate for mutual benefit. The hosting model of the China-ASEAN Ministerial Roundtable Meeting and series of activities, "One Meeting, One Exhibition, Two Forums," was widely recognized by the participants, who are willing to promote the Ministerial Roundtable Meeting as an important aspect of dialogue and cooperation between China and ASEAN in professional fields. Lim Jock Hoi stated that the urbanization level of ASEAN countries is continuously increasing, and the construction sector is a potential new direction for China-ASEAN cooperation. The China-ASEAN Ministerial Roundtable Meeting has been held for three consecutive sessions, achieving fruitful results. The roundtable meeting is held in China one year and in an ASEAN member country the next year, forming the "One Meeting, One Exhibition, Two Forums" model where ministers, mayors, and entrepreneurs actively participate, facilitating the creation of more cooperation outcomes. The ASEAN Secretariat is willing to support the role of this cooperation platform in China-ASEAN cooperation.
