Beijing launched an "ASEAN visa" and the China‑ASEAN Year of Cultural Exchanges (2024–2025) staged nearly 200 major events to boost cross‑border travel and services flows. China reached key consensus with eight ASEAN countries on building bilateral "communities of shared destiny," strengthening the basis for closer China‑ASEAN integration.
