When strategic dialogues and people-to-people exchanges are in alignment with each other, and inheritance of history and innovation complement each other, the ASEAN countries and China are bound to create a brighter future and write a new chapter through concerted efforts.  (Text by Qian Jiayi, Photo by Lin Shuangwei)
